Androxine Vortex

So I am working on forming all the "back-lore" of my world and I might have come across a problem. First let me share you a very basic run down of what it is and then I will explain after. This might get a bit lengthy...
Technically another world existed before the current one but that's not important. There is the physical realm and through a magical version of the big bang, currents and waves of magical energy flowed over creation. These waves of energy began to form and cluster and formed individual beings who developed their own consciousness. There are gods that exist in an ethereal plane and physical gods who have great magical abilities and are immune to age but walk on the earth.
I am thinking of having it so that the gods raise mankind and the various races and through their superior knowledge, teach them things such as construction and agriculture and so on. During these hundreds of years of rapid growth and development, there is peace. Everything is held in order and is tranquil. But one of the physical deities sees out even beyond the heavens and sees even more etheral planes that exist beyond the walls of our own realm. He sees their realms, which are purely comprised of their own emotion and personality and these outer-gods look at the physical realm in disgust. They wish that it would be destroyed and by unmaking the world and collapsing reality on itself, the universe will fall into sort of a magic black whole where everything will be one energy. (Prior to the big bang, everything and all of creation was one singular entity. These outer deities wish to destroy the world to merge all energy back into their version of true harmony)
From there, this one lone god sees the truth that has hidden from the world's eyes, and is overcome by the sheer infinite thoughts of hate and anger and ambition of these outer gods that a plot begins to swell in his heart to unmake the world. He goes alone in secret deep into the depths of the world and from the heat and strong stone, he is the first to create a sword: A instrument of wicked design and intentions. No swords have even been made before and it is with this blade that he would slay his brothers and sister in order to claim rule over the earth and plunge it into chaos. He does in fact slay his family and by cursing his blood and having his followers drink it and become slaves to his will, he has legions armed with steel to fight and enslave the mortal races. The remaining physical gods and the heavenly gods decide that peace must be obtained through bloodshed, but they fear the armies made of metal and steel. They fear to replicate weapons, whose design has brought discord to the world. But they do create them, and bless the blades and armor from the heavens to fight.
The whole concept of my stories are that mankind get enslaved by the heavenly gods. After the events of what happened here, the worship that the gods gained from having their servants kill in their name is beyond anything they have felt before since all of their worship was of prayers and rituals. It was in fact by the ruling of the sun god (the big guy in charge) that humans are to be ruled justly and in peace. He was opposed to the idea of war but the moon deity convinced the other star gods to create holy warriors and use them for killing. This bloodshed led to the discovery of blood-worship and was part of many dark magical secrets that the sun god wanted kept secret. They became angry at the sun god for keeping these arts secret. The euphoria was like an unimaginable high for them and now feeling like they had to go back to pitiful prayers and unappetizing rituals, they began to fight over the sun throne and plunged the heavens (and the earth) into a thousand year long period of holy civil war. The sun god eventually being overthrown but banishing the moon good away into an abyss.
I wanted to know if you liked this concept. I am concerned that all these events coming to fruition was all caused by a single god. I don't know if that sounds cheesy or not. What do you think?
EDIT: Also,do you like the concept of there was no violence and pure peace on earth for all these years? Or is that far fetched?
