When Ixbal and Hunna perform the Lullaby of the Stars, they enter this pseudo-evolved form channeling the primordial powers of the cosmos through their Adamic crystals. When the chant is performed Adam Kadmon is devolved into his fetal stage.

Right then, Hunna and Ixbal fuse to become the vessel of the fallen god, Aeternitas. In this short moment, Adam looks at her and realizes Aeternitas is the one at the end of his visions, the mother he desperately is chasing through space and time, or at least that's what he thinks. Adam's mind cannot fully remember the true identity and appearance of his real mother, Entropy, thus all this time he has been chasing an illusion he desperately wanted to believe.

In some Maya interpretations, Ixbalanque and Hunnahpuh become the moon and the sun, thus creating the concept of time. That's why it made sense to me that absorbing Adam, a fragment of Kaos that controls time, would turn Aeternitas into the goddess of eternity, a lesser deity of time.
