Isn't the part about "The Aedra and Daedra being born from the mixed blood of Anu and Padomay", not meant to be taken literally?

Anu and Padomay represent two forces, of which their intermingling results in the creation of the Aurbis. In other words, they are responsible for creating everything. Following this, Anu and Padomay would create their own souls, resulting in eventually hundreds of original spirits.

Soon after, the Aedra would be responsible for finalising Nirn's creation, the Daedra didn't, Magnus and the Magna-Ge fled to Aetherius, and the Et-Ada that lost their divinity completely would then become the Ehlnofey, or the first mortals.
