What are the gods for?

Maybe from the whole only the star or the will of it is the thing that decides what or what doesn't get a soul. So there seems to be something there pre Zodiark.

That doesn't inherently require the presence of a sentient entity making decisions about who gets souls and when. It could just be a natural law of the universe that a being has (or develops) a soul in X circumstance.

Oh sure, but the way they phrase things when talking about the will of the star pre Zodiark to me at least it feels like there's more to the core of the star then what we get told. I'm not even sure it had sentience until Zodiark.

Even in what we got told with this round from the alliance raid we get hinted at thar something is there at the heart of the star. That prayer goes to the twelve that later gets sent to the heart of thr star. So, even if it was a mass of nothingness or the whorl something keeps on being hinted at.
