The dark soul is one but many, and has existed as long as anything else. It was only through humans that it took its current form. Each human has just a little part but as the amount of humanity dwindles, the soul eventually becomes whole once again.

We've already established that although they existed as such through the eyes of humans, Gwyn and his minions were not nor ever were gods. They merely borrowed the power of the souls to replicate the illusion of their deific status.

The souls were bore from the darkness. The darkness is the true beginning and end to all forms of existence. Perhaps all lord souls were just part of a larger all powerful soul including the dark soul. The most important thing to remember is that the dark soul represents the will of humanity and its ability to overcome all eventual obstacles.

Or maybe the authors of the game just read too much Freud lol.
