I need honest opinions

Discussion

Hello, this is my first time in this community. Although I've made other posts about worldbuilding, I needed different opinions. I want to summarize my world and get honest opinions, tips, or anything that will help me overcome my creative block. I feel like my brain needs a little push to come up with more ideas and develop my world.

The main reason for this post: Why is it so easy to turn problems into a huge dilemma when creating a world? Why is creating problems so easy, and solving them seems to open up a whole paradox? And how on earth do I create so many characters and events to fill the black hole in my timeline?

Story: Before the advent of writing, a new god awoke, bodyless and only a new soul. Amidst a "shower of stars," one of them struck him, intertwining its trail with his. Descending to Earth and mingling with humans, the god met a boy named Caius. Amidst the discord of a rebellion, he perished. Upon returning to the heavens, he met Belial, who noticed his soul was different, fused with another to the point of seeming as one. Realizing what had happened, he tried to reverse it, but the human would never reincarnate and would dissolve. Finding this unjust, the god decided to seek another way to undo it without threatening Caius's existence. Thus, from the period before writing to the times of technology, the god watched the human be reborn thousands of times and die, destined for tragedy, unable to do anything without threatening human life, he encountered him in all his lives until the 13th, where he was reborn as a god after reaching the limit of reincarnations for a single soul, ascending to the heavens as an awaken god.

Types of gods:

-Concepts: The original gods who represent the basic concepts of the world, although they do not symbolize a single thing or adhere to only one meaning. They care for the souls that inhabit the stars, fulfilling their purpose and maintaining balance.

Eris (Zanni): Goddess who symbolizes chaos, destruction, and disorder, a complementary opposite of Themis. Responsible for the "shower of stars" event, the moment when souls descend like shooting stars to reincarnate or be born for the first time.

Themis (Diana): Goddess who symbolizes Mother Nature, harmony, and order, a complementary opposite of Eris. Responsible for pulling souls after their death in life, causing them to inhabit the stars or disintegrate after they can no longer reincarnate.

Malachi (Odem): Goddess who symbolizes redemption, a complementary opposite of Belial. Help lost souls return to heaven like a guide.

Belial (Sappho): Goddess who symbolizes punishment, the complementary opposite of Malachi. It seeks out the rebellious souls who refused to return to heaven and inhabit the stars.

- Originals: Gods that arise naturally, but without a specific destiny, they need to discover their own purpose on their own.

Octans (Azrael): The eighth original, he accidentally intertwined his soul with a mortal, but cannot undo it without harming the human, so he seeks an alternative to avoid hurting him at all costs.

- Awakens: Created from human emotions and because the human soul is still bound to the mortal world for some reason, such as: Someone, something unfinished, etc. ​​

Saiph (Danya): Symbolizes justice, inspired by a period after the emergence of writing.

Capella (Mary): Symbolizes violence, inspired by the Queen of Hearts.

Sirius (Cayo/Caius): Symbolizes kindness/gentleness, the human to whom Azrael intertwined his soul.

As you can see, it's still unfinished and missing many characters, which is my main difficulty right now. I don't have many ideas for the missing gods, much less how to continue the story. Any questions are welcome, thanks for your time :)
