Pvis already existed before he was worshiped. In what way do you propose that he was created by his worshipers? I thought you were arguing that gods are created purely by worship?
Pavis attained divinity yes, but not purely through worship. He was surely a powerfull heroquester, who attained divinity no doubt with the help of many devoted followers. If he had simply sat on a throne in Adari and demanded that everyone worship him, how far do you think he would have got?
