"Hi. I was wondering about the creation process of the Old and New Gods and why they only appeared after the MC was sealed.
Interestingly, Astera and Ravyn developed an obsession with the Void Primordial, each in their own way. Could the concept of Light and Darkness, in relation to the Void, be one of the factors that influenced their attitudes?"
Hi @chocottone answers below.
(Unfinished Family Tree(to many children), but you get the idea anyway.)
The Origins of the Gods: A Divine Lineage
After the Void Primordial was sealed away and Death was cast into the Shade (Underworld), the cosmic balance shifted—leaving Althaia vulnerable. Seizing this opportunity, Christos, the last remaining Primordial, defiled her, an act born not of love but more of dominance in the absence of her protectors.
From this violation came the Second Generation of Gods, the divine offspring of Christos and Althaia. And unlike mortals, gods are beings of pure energy, transcending mortal biology. Thus, while their lineage may seem incestuous by human standards, divine reproduction operates beyond such constraints. Gods do not rely on DNA or conventional reproduction—their children can be willed into existence, forged from cosmic essence, or even born from abstract concepts.
The Third Generation of Gods then emerged from the unions (or creations) of the Second Generation, continuing the celestial bloodline. This pattern mirrors many real-world mythologies, where gods often intermarry or self-generate successors, reinforcing their otherworldly nature.
In the end, divinity is not bound by mortal taboos. The gods exist beyond flesh, beyond blood—shaped by power, fate, and the echoes of their Primordial origins. And that is how the gods came to be after the MC went bye-bye.

As for the obsession for the Void from our Twins, yes, I used their concepts as factors for their desire and hate towards the MC since it was both poetic and cosmic. Especially as they repel and attract one another whether they want to or not.
