Past the point where we return back to the past, anything regarding the second Final Days is not connected to the time loop.

The Source was fragmented in order to bind Zodiark as he is tied to it.

The Final Days are an apocalyptic event caused by the negative emotions of people themselves. Venat's initial plan was to give the Star a second chance at preventing the Final Days, to put them in miserable conditions by sundering the Ancients. By doing so people may learn to overcome the feelings of hopelessness that brought the end of the fake utopia they lived in. The plan for the moon was a safety precaution in case humanity fails once again and succumbs to despair. Most of the people from The Source wouldn't have made it either.

For a character to be a villain their actions need to be motivated by evil intentions which Venat lacks.
