Originally, whether they were Earthly Deities or Magatsukami, as the defeated, they were all sealed in Yomi.
Because Yomotsu Hirasaka was blocked off by Izanagi with the Senzui Stone, the denizens of Yomi were unable to enter the Human World; even those as powerful as Susanou and Izanami could not cross the boundary between life and death.
Speaking of which, as Susanou's subjects, the Magatsukami fared relatively well. Being gods of calamity who were not well-regarded to begin with, hiding in the sea or skulking in Yomi did not make much of a difference.
However, for the Earthly Deities, the difference was significant—after all, the Human World originally belonged under their dominion.
In Japanese mythology, there is a famous story called "Ōkuninushi Concedes the Nation."
