As one of the emanations from the Source of Everything, the Godwave is a powerful force which continually ripples from one end of creation to the other and back. Where it goes, powerful beings are created. Some are mortals who are elevated to godhood, others are created whole-cloth from the wave, even born out of the existing beliefs of civilizations.
The godwave continually moves and as such many incarnations of deities have been created. These generations of gods in the universe are marked by the term "Worlds", as each new incarnation of gods and goddesses tended to reshape the worlds they were in contact with.
The First World created the fewest but most powerful of the entities and they represent concepts as old as reality itself. Death, Destiny, Despair, Desire, Delirium, and Dream form a group known simply as the Endless.
The Second World deities were more numerous, with entities dealing with more physical concepts such as light, darkness, and physical matter. These included the Primordial entities and the Titans of the Greeks.
The Third World was the most abundant, with Pantheons on numerous worlds. On Earth, the Asgardians, the Kami, Olympians, Netjer, and the Shen are only a few of the groups created in this Wave.
The Fourth World is the newest incarnation of the gods and the most mysterious. To this date, only the New Gods of Apokalips have been discovered, though they are worshiped by no one other than the inhabitants of their realm. Some legends speak of another group of New Gods from a place called New Genesis, but they were believed to have been destroyed by Darkseid years ago.
