Yeah, the One Being is the wholeness. The elder gods are merely spawns of it. It the same story of the greek gods overthrowing the titans.

Zeus cut down Kronos to free his brothers and sisters, then banished all titans to the underworld, for eternity. The Titans are the embodiements of nature, so is the One Being. The greek gods are the human nature personified. It's quite plausible that the elder gods are greedy and power hungry too, escaping from the bowels of their progenitor to rule all reality.

The difference is that Shinnok wanted to rule over them all, and tried to conquer everything by himself. So, the OB tried to manipulate/trick him into merging the realms, as it did to Shao Kahn and Onaga. The end justifies the means.
