The problem with the Ea's "death of the universe" conundrum, is that it's trying to base itself on our world's science and laws while in a setting that works under completely different rules, without the writers properly considering how those rules change the outcome.

The space is expanding and one day the stars will be too far from the planets to give them any life-supporting heat? So? Who gives a crap? Literally just in this expansion we have seen two artificial suns made by two different groups of people, through different means. Just make some of those with magic, heck, summon a giant sun-primal that follows the planet even when the space expands. You're worried about atmosphere or gravity? Have you seen Ultima Thule? Or even just the moon? Is weather an issue for you? Don't worry, Sharlayans can just make that too.

Real-life issues don't really apply when you have this kind of magic and technology and it's silly to pretend it does, just to make it more "realistic" and "hit close to home" to provoke a more emotional response form people. In the end it breaks the suspension of disbelief, makes the characters look like idiots (although Enwalker has really felt like characters taking stupid pills for the entire storyline) and ultimately falls flat.

Speaking of stupid pills - I wonder how the heck was leaving Eatheris supposed to save people from The Final Days. If anything it would just make them even more exposed to Meteia and their dynamis-based powers, given how most of the universe isn't actually as dense in aether as The Star. Good plan.
