Emet's a very lonely psychopath who can't get/grow past the sacrifices of his fellow Ascians, as if he died along with them. So, I wouldn't be surprised if he really wanted WoD to put an end to his misery all along.

So what makes Emet a villain? Let's say a bunch of people I care about sacrificed themselves to save our world, and the way to get them all back is to kill entire species of dogs. Would I do it? Would I do it after living among generations of these dogs, some of which I even gave names to? I'd be a monster to say yes.
Yeah. His methods were something we couldn't stand for. However, from his perspective (and likely any remaining Ascian) the worlds that came to be as a result of the Sundering weren't truly real, nor were the beings inhabiting them alive. They were just parts of a greater whole that was fractured. The Rejoining was/is the Ascians' plan to fix that by making all things whole again. So yeah, I don't necessarily agree with him or the Ascian agenda but it's all pretty much 2 sides to the same coin...and so I can't help but sympathize with them a bit. From Emet's perspective, we are the villains and he's fighting to preserve what we knows and holds dear. From our perspective it's...basically the same thing. The Warrior of Light just goes about it a different way.
