Not a new theory - I was one of those who thought at first that the Ancient Dragons are an older generation of god - then I actually thought of how the next generation would succeed them, and without knowing of a second way, they couldn't. So I dropped that theory. Others didn't.

Possible that the real reason of the gods leaving Tyria is unknown, however, due to the events that occurred just before, I would say we know the true reason. The gods feared harming more of the world. Their gift caused wars and them defeating one of their own made massive land changed (Crystal Sea became a Crystal Desert and the Desolation was formed *theorized to have been a beach-like area before).

Since the gods left tyria, they had nothing better to do so they started to hibernate,

Even though the Ancient Dragons have been spewing out their own magic, and have power that rivals gods, are seemingly ageless, and haven't been awake since before the Giganticus Lupicus?
The gods left at year 0. The Ancient Dragons have been asleep since before the humans arrived on Tyria which was about 200-300 years
before year 0. It is said they are older than the giganticus Lupicus which were around about 10,000 years before year 0. I'm sure the Forgotten would have told humans and other races of the Ancient Dragons if they knew of them - they arrived 2,000 years before year 0. Thus, if the Ancient Dragons were ever awake when the current gods were around, it would have been 3,000 to 2,000 years before year 0 - around the same time Glint would have been made as the first creature by the gods.
If the Ancient Dragons and the gods once fought, it wouldn't have been an immediate reason for the gods to leave.

So they expect weaker beings to defeat an enemy stronger than themselves? Doesn't make sense.
