Sundering stuff established in the Q&A

[Lauront]

A thematically appropriate way for the Ancients to fight Meteion without creating beings able to influence Dynamis or becoming able to do so themselves would probably be for them to have simply used their privileged existences to spread life and hope across the universe instead of being so inward-looking - beat despair with sympathy instead of empathy. Meteion only reflects the vibe of the surrounding universe. Change the vibe, and you can stop the crisis without ever setting foot in Ultima Thule.

Yes, I like the idea as well. Provided they could harness enough aether to provide shields to these worlds so they were not immediately overwhelmed, it could work and would also shift their purpose from perfecting the star to re-seeding life in the universe on other stars. If they had understood dynamis (=were given all the knowledge required to begin seriously researching it), it may follow they could measure it and determine how much of Zodiark's power needed to shield Etheirys and how quickly (or rather slowly) it was degrading, and thus how much it was safe to divert to other worlds, or otherwise find ways to stimulate the world's production of aether... he was a dark primal, after all. In the alternative that this, for whatever reason, would not work? Selectively sunder some of their own and prepare them, experiment with primals and familiars, etc. I still find Ktisis Hyperboreia's suppression system intriguing, but there are many ways to pluck a despair bird's feathers, and this particular suggestion has the merit of reversing the downbeat message the expansion left many with.
