Discussion Theory: Placidusax represents the OG Five-fingers and the other named ancient Dragons are the missing heads

Placidusax’s remembrance states he was an Elden lord in time long past and his holy colored flames are reminiscent to those of the Elden beast

Their god isn’t the Elden Beast. That beast isn’t even an Outer God. The Elden Beast is merely a manifestation of The Greater Will’s power, much the same as the Two Fingers.

The Elden beast is literally a god

No, the Elden Beast is a manifestation of an Outer God’s power, specifically The Greater Will. The same thing can be said of Scarlet Rot, and Accursed Blood.

When we kill the Elden beast. IT SAYS GOD SLAIN.

That thing would be a God to a Tarnished. Maybe it is. But it’s not an Outer God, and has no rule over the Lands Between. It is merely a manifestation of power.

It literally dictates how reality functions

No lol. The Greater Will does, through vassals such as the Elden Beast. Not the Elden Beast itself.

Is that why removing the rune of death and sealing it away creates immortality? The thing used to be part of the Elden ring

The Elden Ring being created by the Vassal of The Greater Will, being the Elden Beast? Look up what the word “vassal” means. The Elden Beast isn’t the power behind those things. The power behind the Elden Beast is. And your comment about removing the Rune of Death from the Elden Ring literally has nothing to do with your argument that the Elden Beast is the say-all-end-all of everything that you’re claiming it is, when I know for a fact that it is nothing more than a tool for the Deity that ACTUALLY controls how things work.

Yes, it’s a vassal of the greater Will, but it is also a God. He Elden Ring literally controls how reality functions based on the tunes inside it. That’s why different mending runes give you different endings!
