Really is sad when you think about it. Extreme as their actions were, the Primordial Gods took zero pleasure in this bloody, dirty business. They truly believed that they were doing the right thing, and held to their convictions to such an extent that, once they were certain there were no other loose ends, they offed themselves to take the secret with them.

Both sides genuinely thought they were doing the right thing. That their method was best for protecting their descendants and the world at large. But their methods ran too counter to one another and left no room for compromise.
I honestly don't really like how this played out. Gollnir didn't really have a good reason to have a way to undo the seal and endanger the whole world. He just did it because he's a wacky little guy with high minded ideals. There's not actually a good reason for it. Gollnir was just like that so the plot can happen.

There's a way to let the world know about the Godslayers and the sacrifices of the primordial Gods without also attaching the instructions for how to unleash the world ending calamity again. Maybe they can even be in separate books and that other book can be locked up in a super special set of circumstances that would require, for whatever reason, that the omnicidal monsters be released! Wow. Tragedy averted.

That would have been great, yeah. But it took all of Gollnir's remaining life force to make just the one book. Maybe if he had the backing of the other gods, maybe if there had been some attempt at compromise. But you have to remember, Gollnir wasn't being idealistic; he was being cautious. The other gods were convinced the seal would last forever, and chose to wipe all memory of the primordial gods to guarantee it would never be tampered with.

Gollnir, the one who created the seal, was not convinced, and thus wanted to ensure that future generations would be aware of the threat and thus be prepared to eventually face it. Knowing how to break the seal, in this particular case, means they wouldn't have to wait for the sealed gods to break out; they could open the seal and strike back on their own terms, at a time of their choosing. The fact he wanted their friends' history and sacrifice to be remembered is a big part of it, to be sure, but Gollnir also wanted to put faith in their descendants and ensure they were aware of the threat.

The current situation is what it is only because of both parties. Odin found Gollnir's book and how to break the seal, yes. But by that point he had already been driven to destructive vengeance due to his people being slaughtered. And now, few if any of the modern gods know about the threat that's waiting for them just around the corner should Odin's plans continue as they are. The exact scenario Gollnir was worried about. Hell, the fact that Odin was able to be possessed by a fragment of the primordial gods' power already proves that the seal is imperfect and could be broken.

Something i want to add to that:
Erasing history does not prevent Yggdrasil Rune / four treasure of calamity from not existing.

Rather other than Current Odin, it could have been another random god that found it [only didn't know actual source].
Besides, not like Current Odin knew where Yggdrasil Rune / four treasure of calamity was in first place, he only went searching.


Also Nostradamus didn't say where he got his knowledge from [only said banned books].
It said Current Odin found Gollnir reincarnated book... so would Current Odin leave that info around for others? if he didn't then that means Nostradamus found out from other places
