Yes, let's return to your point. Why do you think that Raiden can die? Again, he exploded himself into a billion pieces, but lived.

Also, if you look on this wiki, you'll see that on Shinnok's page, his species is listed as Elder God. So I wonder if the original Elder Gods BECAME Elder Gods at some point, or if they just always were.
