I can't remember what game or story this is from but I think that if you kill a god then you become a god.
I think that since we have ascended (by killing Crota and absorbing his god juice) and killed a "true" god (Oryx) we will be going through trials to be reforged into god hood, and get background story on the Traveler.

Crota and Oryx aren't "true gods". The worms inside are.

We've also killed Atheon who I believe was a Vex god.
