To make a long story short:

El is an avatar of Ludo, but a separate entity from him. Basically, they're only Ludo insomuch as the player character in any video game is the person controlling them. Ludo learns that taking an active part in his world is more fun than just watching it, and at the end of the game decides to continue seeing it through El's eyes. Since Ludo is perfectly satisfied adventuring across the Continent with his new friends and family, the gods' grip on the world is loosened significantly because they no longer have to constantly meddle with it to keep him entertained.
