The Order of the Three Pure Ones
In the real-life Taoist system, the order of the Three Pure Ones was the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, followed by the Heavenly Lord Lingbao, and finally the Heavenly Lord Dao De (Taishang Laojun). In the Sanqing Hall of the Taoist temple, the statue of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was always in the center, symbolizing the "Wuji" state where heaven and earth were not formed, all things were not born, the clear and turbid were not distinguished, and the yin and yang were not distinguished. The statue of Heavenly Lord Lingbao was always in the left position (in ancient times, the left was respected), symbolizing the "Tai Chi" state where chaos began to be distinguished and the clear and turbid were first separated. The statue of Heavenly Lord Daode (Taishang Laojun) was always in the right position, symbolizing the "Taichu" state where all things were born. However, in the film and television novels (such as the film and television works adapted from the Romance of the Gods), the Three Pure Ones were ranked as Lord Dao De (Taishang Laojun) → Yuanshi Tianzun → Tongtian Sect Master (the prototype was Lingbao Tianzun). However, the film and television novels should be distinguished from the real-life Taoist system.

Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones
In the China mythological system, the relationship between Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones was rather complicated. In terms of status, Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones were equal, but Nüwa's special characteristics showed the uniqueness of her status. In the Taoist mythological system, Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones were saints of heaven and earth. Goddess Nvywa became a virtuous saint because she created people and refined stones to mend the sky, while the Three Pure Ones were the ancestors of Taoist cultivation and became saints through cultivation. In terms of merit, Nuwa's merit was rather outstanding in the Three Realms. Other than Pangu, who created the world, almost no one could compare to Nuwa's merit of creating humans. The stability of the entire three worlds depended on Nuwa's contribution. For example, the cause of the Apotheosis Calamity (King Wu conquered King Zhou) was that King Zhou "teased" Nüwa. Nüwa was furious and triggered a series of wars. Even Lao Zi of the Three Pure Ones could only follow Nüwa's decision to destroy the Shang Dynasty. Nüwa had two publicly acknowledged disciples, the Nine Heavenly Maiden and Goddess Houtu. During the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, Goddess Nvywa had sent the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens to assist the Yellow Emperor and teach him the art of war. She was an important figure who had changed the pattern of history. Goddess Houtu was in charge of the "earth" of the human world and one of the four emperors of the Heavenly Court. Her status was second only to the Three Pure Ones and was on equal footing with the Jade Emperor. She had opened the Netherworld and allowed the dead souls of the Three Realms to be reborn. This merit made her revered and even Tathagata did not dare to offend her. In short, Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones had their own unique roles, positions, and influences in the mythological system.
