Both are because it's his title. The God King was responsible for shaping the world and creating magic. He also opened the Breach, which released great walls of poisonous Ley, because the world outside of the new Ley boundary was too dangerous for his animals. One day, his wife told him that in her latest clairvoyant dream, she had seen that his son would end up destroying him. This knowledge drove him mad, and so his son had to destroy him. However, the son couldn't overpower his father on his own, so his mother helped them. They sank into the depths of Eternity's Crossing (in the map), and that's why it's filled with storms. The God King was responsible for creating the Elements, and he also created a method for choosing the next bearers, but it would only work after many bearers had been cycled through. So, he predestined quite a few sets of bearers until the method could properly work.

But-but-but the elements grew on a tree!
