Whether or not they gain power from worship isn't relavent. Afterall the defining of God is defined from these gods themselves.
Afterall you cannot use abrahamic religions as a basis for the defining of god for a fictional universe.
I didn't use Abrahamic conventions when I made my statement I used universal notions of divinity. All religions regardless of type, in regards to gods, agree on a few things. They should be vastly powerful, independent of those they created and/or are placed above, and should be immortal either immortal from aging or immortal from dying, or both.

It's also common sense if you don't meet all of the above criteria your not a god, just a vastly powerful being. Which is not the same thing. If you don't meet all of the above criteria your really not much better off then me and I'm just a not so humble badass mortal.
