If used properly, it could not only kill their master, Patriarch Hongjun, but also have the ability to destroy the world under the circumstances of the right time, place, and people. It was more powerful than the magic weapon of the Heavenly Lord of the Origin. Judging from the performance of the two in some incidents, in the incident related to the Nine Yellow River Formation, when Heavenly Lord of the Origin faced the Three Firmament Goddess, he showed that he might not be strong enough and did not kill her. Grand Supreme Elder's attitude was overbearing. He dodged the Golden Dragon Scissors of the Three Sky Goddesses and even used the Taiji Diagram to break the Nine Yellow River Formation. In the end, he sent the three goddesses to the western paradise and became a member of the Investiture of the Gods. From the perspective of status, although Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was the leader of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, Taoism also had the saying that Laojun was the first in heaven. Moreover, Laojun was invisible, had no beginning and no end. It was called the "Great Dao" and was the ultimate supreme. At the same time, in the Romance of the Gods, Laozi (Taishang Laojun) was the eldest brother of the Heavenly Lord of the Origin. Laozi's magic weapon, the Taiji Diagram, was also more powerful than the Pangu Banner of the Heavenly Lord of the Origin. From the perspective of preaching ability, Taishang Laojun was stronger. He was the teacher of all things. He had the merit of turning Hu into Buddha and guiding Confucius to establish Confucianism. However, Honored Lord of the Origin was more powerful in teaching disciples. His disciples included the famous Twelve Golden Immortals, Dipamkara Taoist, and South Pole Immortal Weng, while Taishang Laojun only had Master Xuandu and Immortal Du'e.

Heavenly Lord Yuanshi had a very high status in Taoism and was the leader of the Three Pure Ones. Taoism believed that the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was the manifestation of the Tao. He was the condensed essence of "One". He was born due to Qi and changed nature. In Taoism's view of the universe and the concept of calamity, the cycle of creation and destruction of heaven and earth repeated itself. The Heavenly Lord of the Origin had once opened calamities to save people under different names. In the Romance of the Gods and other related stories, the Heavenly Lord of the Origin was the master of many immortals and had sixteen disciples, such as the South Pole Immortal Weng and the Immortal Yu Ding. Each disciple had different characteristics and abilities. There was no record of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi in the early Taoism.

In terms of magic weapons, Taishang Laojun's Taiji Diagram was a treasure that could open the sky. If used properly, it could not only kill their master, Patriarch Hongjun, but also have the ability to destroy heaven and earth under the circumstances of favorable weather, favorable terrain, and favorable people. It was even more powerful than the Pangu Banner of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. Judging from his performance in the Investiture of the Gods, Taishang Laojun's attitude was even more domineering. He dodged the Golden Dragon Scissors of the Three Sky Goddesses and used the Taiji Diagram to break the Nine Yellow River Formation, sending the three goddesses to the West and making them a member of the Investiture of the Gods. However, Honored Lord of the Origin did not seem to have enough strength and did not seem to kill them all. In terms of the ability to teach disciples, Heavenly Lord of the Origin was even more powerful. His disciples included the famous Twelve Golden Immortals, Dipamkara Taoist, and South Pole Immortal Weng. On the other hand, the disciples of Taishang Laojun were only famous for Master Xuandu and Immortal Du'e. In terms of preaching ability, Taishang Laojun was stronger. He was the teacher of all things. He turned Hu into Buddha and guided Confucius to establish Confucianism.

Hongjun and Grand Supreme Elder were two different characters. In the novel Investiture of the Gods, Hongjun was the master of Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian. He was depicted as the embodiment of the Great Dao and the guide and supervisor of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of Origin such as the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and Nuwa. Grand Supreme Elder was one of the Three Pure Ones and one of Hongjun's disciples. Therefore, Hongjun was not Grand Supreme Elder, but Grand Supreme Elder's master.

Taishang Laojun and Guang Chengzi were two important figures in Taoism. Taishang Laojun was regarded as the ancestor of Taoism, and also the Taishang Daozu who had the ability to open up the sky, create the world, and redeem the world. He was called the Grand Supreme Connate Limitless Great Dao, the ruler of the Great Dao and the ruler of the Limitless. Among the five disciples of Grand Supreme Elder, Guang Chengzi was one of them. Guang Chengzi was a Taoist figure during the Yellow Emperor's era. It was said that he cultivated in Kongtong Mountain. The Yellow Emperor specially went to visit him and took him as his teacher to learn the art of governing the country. Guang Chengzi was also known as one of the incarnations of Taishang Laojun. According to different records, Taishang Laojun and Guangchengzi played different roles and identities in Taoism. However, the specific relationship and identity between them may differ in different literature and legends.
In the China mythological system and related novels, Taishang Laojun was not a monster. In myths and novels such as Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods, Taishang Laojun was a god with a respected status. In the Investiture of the Gods, he was the eldest disciple of Patriarch Hongjun and the ancestor of all immortals. Together with Honored Lord of the Origin and Sect Leader Tongtian, he was known as the Three Friends of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. He founded the Sect of Humanity and had a profound cultivation.

In the Taoist mythological system, Taishang Laojun was regarded as the ancestor of chaos, the parent of heaven and earth, the master of Yin and Yang, and the emperor of all gods. There was a saying that Pangu came first, followed by heaven, and Taishang came before Pangu. His seniority was extremely high, almost as long as heaven and earth. From this point of view, he had the characteristic of immortality. Furthermore, in many myths and derivative works, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had existed for a long time, which also indirectly reflected his immortality. For example, in the story line of Journey to the West, from the time when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in Heaven to the time when he escorted Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain scriptures, Taishang Laojun always existed and played various roles. For example, he used the diamond chakram to sneak up on Sun Wukong, put Sun Wukong into the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and sent the boy to turn into the King of Gold Horn and the King of Silver Horn to make things difficult for Tang Sanzang and his disciples. His existence ran through the whole story as if he was not affected by time, which also hinted at his immortality.
In Taoism, Taishang Laojun was closely related to Laozi. Laozi was regarded as one of the incarnations of Taishang Laojun, like the eighteenth incarnation of Taishang Laojun. From the perspective of the development of Taoist mythology, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching was regarded as the Tao Te Ching by Taoism. Lao Tzu was also regarded as the ancestor of Taoism. With the development of Taoism, he was gradually regarded as an immortal and associated with Taishang Laojun. However, strictly speaking, the god Taishang Laojun had many characteristics such as transcending time and space. He was the embodiment of the Great Dao. The Great Dao gathered into Laojun and dispersed into Qi (One Qi turns into Three Pure Ones). In order to educate the world, Laozi would appear in different forms. Laozi was only one of his incarnations. Therefore, it could be said that Laozi was Taishang Laojun, but Taishang Laojun was not just Laozi. In some literary works, such as Journey to the West, the image of Taishang Laojun was different from traditional religious ideas. The image in the novel could not completely represent the definition of Taoism. 'The Myth of True Love in the Pangu Progenitor Universe' is equally wonderful. Please click to read it!
