I dont think we even now if he was able to mediate with Venat's group. She may have sundered the world before he could even approach them.
    Venat's crew were coming to them and getting shut out, so we can't say that he just hadn't gotten around to it; they actually reported going to the Convocation and their words reaching deaf ears. So whatever his definition of reconciliation was, it was through ignoring or outright dismissing the actual opposition.

    Given that 'most' of the planet wanted the third sacrifice, and we still don't really understand how Primal-Elidibus even happened, I suspect one of two things.

    A: Elidibus came down of his own volition (as he believes), and as Zodiark's heart, immediately opted for the Zodiarkian option. 'You will make the right choice' because he was inherently biased towards the option that gave Zodiark more sacrifices, and pushed for that.

    B: Elidibus came down via collective unconscious wish. Given that the majority of the planet supported the third sacrifice, this meant that their summoned primal did too. 'You will make the right choice' because he was the manifestation of majority will, and so already decided.

    In either case, while he might have called what he did 'reconciliation' to himself, it clearly was not an actual communion between the dissenting groups.

    Given this is Elidibus we're talking about, it's possible that we'll get a better idea of his general outlook over Pandaemonium. But personally, I don't think that post-Zodiark, he ever could've been impartial; we know that he was motivated by the needs of his own continual existence (hence how he got into his whole 'weaponizing heroism' thing), so how could he have ever be expected to fairly balance 'feed Zodiark vs. don't feed Zodiark'?
