Jaheons family gives mugo a sacrifice in return for a wish. They created mugo solely to take advantage of him, and mugo wants revenge on his family. The old man mugo views Jaheon as a hindrance and wants to let him go while the other mugos (the monster and the main one) joined forces to keep Jaheon and protect him.

So thatās a part of the story that still hasnāt been explained, you can reread it now that there arenāt many chapters in mind (I did this lol) and keep these things in mind to look out for
1. Look for a pot, Mugo mentioned being created in it i believe
2. Regarding the pot I also believe they mentioned a body was cut into pieces
3. When they are having a 3som and the smart Mugo is looking, a āspirit?ā appears and says something like āoh what a god you areā (idk)
4. When jaheon wakes up from the 3som I believe, there is a gray hand that looks to be the possible spirit
5. When jerk Mugo was in a hallway, the past spirits of them are seen talking to each saying something like āI have always been yours young masterā and then jerk mugo says āno, it canāt beā
BASICALLY the lore of their past hasnāt been revealed, itās something that is slowly being uncovered. But itās for sure that they had something to do together in their past lives. Kind of like Dawn of the Dragon I believe
I hope this somewhat helps (ć ̄ā³ļæ£)ć

From the pictures/artistic hints that were given they may explain it through folklore Japanese/Chinese practice of kodoku, where venomous snakes (and other creatures) were placed in a jar to fight, with the survivor's potent fluids used for a lethal poison. In other manga gods are created thanks to (a) having many believers, (b) strong emotions; but these are more like my hypothesis, and it still doesn't explain the 3 personalities clashing into one body.
I don't fully get the whole plot still
