@ ND999: I would say that, among cultures, they worship the celestial bodies for different reasons, making them converge on "Praise the Sun and you'll get free inmortality, praise the moon and likely you will be erased from known history" would sound boring, making them differ is as exciting as a tale that gets enriched because this varies between localities.

On top of that, as I did in my last comment, let's say that this were to became true, that the King heard tales of Shurima and wanted to become inmortal by the grace of the Sun (And oddly enough from the Moon aswell), you still have many plot-holes that your comment didn't resolved, such as why the Black Mist exists, what's the purpose of the Moon when clearly, as far as we know, praising the Sun achieves more (If you're going to use Shurima's Ascendancy as an example, then you'll realise that they don't worship the Moon by any means), or why the Avatars of the Celestials aren't inmortal and, of course, why the first Avatars of the Celestials and the Lunari perished.
