The description of Patriarch Hongjun in the Investiture of the Gods was even more ancient and primitive. He was honored as the "Taoist Ancestor" and "Teacher of the Sages" and occupied a vital position in the Taoist mythological system. Although Patriarch Bodhi had a prominent position in Journey to the West, he appeared more as a wise man and teacher. As there was no clear information on seniority, it was impossible to determine who was more senior between Patriarch Subhuti and Patriarch Hongjun.
Patriarch Subhuti was either a Grand Enlightenment Golden Immortal or a Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. He was the top immortal in Journey to the West. His overall strength was stronger than Zhenyuanzi and Taishang Laojun, and he was on par with Buddha. His magic power was extremely strong, and he could not be born or destroyed. He could transform at will, live as long as the heavens, and be immortal. Patriarch Subhuti had already reached the highest realm of Buddhism in terms of cultivation. He possessed wisdom and erudition. He was Sun Wukong's master and had taught him the Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Chant, the Seventy-two Transformations, and the Somersault Cloud. However, there was no clear description of Patriarch Subhuti's exact level and strength ranking, so there was no way to give a definite answer.
Patriarch Subhuti was a Dajue Golden Immortal. He was an ancient god born when Pangu created the world. He had once fought against demons and devils and won, helping the three worlds restore order. Patriarch Subhuti was well-versed in the classics of the three religions and the thoughts of the various schools of thought. His Dharmic powers were powerful, and he could change at will. He could live as long as the heavens and be immortal. In Journey to the West, he was described as a top-notch immortal. His overall strength was stronger than Zhenyuanzi and Taishang Laojun, and he was on par with Buddha. Grandmaster Bodhi also taught Sun Wukong the Seventy-two Transformations and Somersault Cloud. In short, Patriarch Subhuti was an existence that surpassed ordinary Heavenly Venerates and was comparable to Grand Empyreans.
Patriarch Hongjun was an ancient and mysterious figure in Chinese mythology. He was an innate god before Pangu created the world. He existed in the chaos of the universe and controlled mysterious power and wisdom. Daoist Hongjun was also known as Patriarch Hongjun. In the novel,"Investiture of the Gods," he was the master of Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian. He was rumored to be the ancestor of all immortals, and was also known as Patriarch Hongyuan. Taoist Hongjun's origin was related to West Kunlun at the beginning of Chaos. After he became a Primordial Immortal, he called himself Patriarch Hongjun. Patriarch Hongjun was described as the highest and supreme existence. He would not participate in the affairs of the world, nor would he favor anyone. He only followed the Heavenly Dao and let nature take its course. Patriarch Hongjun was described in the Investiture of the Gods as the ancestor of the universe. He cultivated the Xuan Qing Qi and possessed the Jade Creation Disc. He was the master of the Grand Supreme Elder, the Heavenly Lord of the Origin, and the Tongtian Sect Master.
According to the descriptions in the Heavenly Dao Rampage Record and My Senior Brother is Too Stable, Patriarch Hongjun and Tathagata Buddha were both top existences among the gods. They both had immeasurable divine powers and strength. Therefore, it was difficult to determine who was stronger. However, in these two novels, the existence of Buddha seemed to be more important. He often published his teachings on various occasions and educated all living beings. Therefore, judging from the description of the plot, perhaps Tathagata Buddha was more powerful. But in general, the two gods were very powerful existences. No matter who was more powerful, they were all legendary figures in myths and legends, worthy of respect and admiration. I hope you like my answer. Muah ~

As Patriarch Hongjun and OUA belonged to different mythological systems, it was not appropriate to directly compare their strength. Patriarch Hongjun was the supreme god in Chinese mythology, while OAAAs were a concept in the Marvel Universe, representing unlimited potential and possibilities. Each of them occupied a supreme position in their respective mythological systems, but if one were to forcefully compare them, they might not be able to draw a conclusion because of the lack of specific comparison standards.
