So now there are ten worlds? Do each have their own gods or do i need to bow to each that might exist? This is a good example of why I see no reason to give credence to any form of any god. Each god is a construct of each person. It is no exaggeration to say that you do not worship the god of your father, you do not even worship the god of your youth (provided you spent any time reflecting and didn't merely swallow everything the priest told you to). The one, karma, mana, great spirits, etc., they all serve the same purpose. And each of them has, as do thousands of gods, a person or group to proclaim their existence and ability to do ____ for you. As with Pascal's wager, You must live for and worship all in order to offend none unduly, or worship none and thus offend none more than another. It's all bollocks.
