Patriarch Hongjun was one of the very high-level immortals in Taoism, but he was not a single god but composed of many gods. In the Daoist immortal pedigree, Patriarch Hongjun was considered to be the creator of heaven and earth, but he was also an existence of the multiverse with many avatars and incarnations. Therefore, if Patriarch Hongjun was regarded as the highest god, he might ignore the characteristics of his multiverse and his relationship and responsibilities with other gods. In addition, Patriarch Hongjun was also a relatively vague concept in Taoism. His image and definition might be different in different novels and legends. Therefore, if Patriarch Hongjun was the highest god, different explanations and perspectives might arise, which would also affect the setting and logic of the immortal pedigree. In short, as an important god in the Daoist immortal pedigree, the image and definition of Patriarch Hongjun might be different in the novel. As for how to set it, the background and plot of the story needed to be considered.
According to the plot introduction of "I am the Everlasting Emperor", Patriarch Hongjun had attained the Dao and achieved the Saint's Dao Fruit.
