while the old ones didn't create the gods directly, they are 100% responsible for creating an environment in which they could be born (at least in the milky way). as i understand it the original-state immaterium would never have been a viable environment for the birth of chaos gods, and when the old ones attempted to weaponize the immaterium, with warp based abilities being anathema to the c'tan, they 'broke' it which created the necassary environ for chaos entities.

oh, and khorne is the only only god that humans seem to be the majority shareholders in the ceation of. eldar created slaanesh and nurgle and tzeentch were around long before humans had the numbers, or emotional capacity, to provide any sort of significant contribution to.
