The problem is the world he was going onto was at time/space coordinates different from the Source. The Source itself is mentioned as being the original, meaning the equivalent of (0,0) on an X/Y grid. All the shards are shifted to different locations around the Source, making their coordinates on that X/Y grid different from the coordinates of the Source. Jumping to any of them requires jumping on that grid, and completely altering your location. Considering that the Crystal Tower also does not exist on the place it's going to originally, Crystal Tower and the Exarch are unnatural additions to the First's timeline, which required shifting the location through both space and time.
First point, this doesn't contradict what I said, nor does it make what I said wrong. He was saying we could not stop the calamity, that it was always fated to happen, but we still changed things by going back in time.

Secondly, the other shards dont revolve around the source like planets around the sun. They occupy the same space, but not the same time and aetherical balance. They are all shifted slightly from Light to Dark and Astral to Umbral. X/Y wise they are in the same spot. You can't take our space ship and fly to the First from the Source. Its why we go through the sparkly magic travel thing every time we shard hop and then fall into a shard of crystal.
