All I know is rumors were going around that Sera came up with the idea. And Jeremy originally wanted to make it, however he choose the Hell Gates and Benny idea as it seemed more logically for the moment in time of the story of the series. However, he stated that her idea will be saved as always possible idea for future seasons. He also went to say another reason he didn't make it for season 8 was he became showrunner too late to make the characters, and it's easiar to make a Vampire (Benny) than making two universal beings with powers above the Archangels, without making them completely unstoppable.
