Now here is a thought to bend your noodle. Great Sage/Ciel Manas IS The World Voice. Think about it, Rimuru was transported to the beginning of time, prior to Valdanava creating the world. Therefore, Rimuru existed before Valdanava (although he was unconscious) and Ciels Mana existed before The World Voice. I think his leaking power over the years created Valdanava. That's my theory and I'm sticking with it, lol!!!
