Have you ever seen a situation where every is losing it except that one person? They keep things together because they have to. That's our WoL. I think that's part of why the Scions told the world they had disbanded. Time to find their own solutions for once.

As far as the Empty, I don't believe there was any indication in the story there that we were going to harm anything with summoning. We were attempting to kickstart the elements again since they had stagnated due to overexposure to Light. If you're approaching it from the idea of looking into the past, it's not really that. That land can't support life anymore. We weren't restoring it entirely to what it was before. We were making it viable to whatever life grew there from that point onward.
My empty point was you portrayed that summoning a god to fix your problems for you is wrong. Yet we do that very thing for the empty. As for harming....do you not remember e8? Ryne was about to cause another flood of light, and we couldnt do much to stop it. It's only because of Gaia that we're able to beat her and prevent it. The same way you're saying middy was their hope in that other timeline is the same way Zodiark was the ancient's beacon of hope. He was literally a manifestation of hope and want for salvation, this is further cemented by Elidibus. If it wasnt for him, we literally wouldnt exist. We rely on gods over and over yet somehow its only wrong when the ancients do it? Give me a break.
