And awakens his younger self so soon wouldn't be wise, I believe, cause that makes the time-paradox maybe more than a problem.
Although we could ask the older version how the tower works so there is no need for a long sleep. Hmmm...
But we will see.

Causing the Paradox will probably cause himself to disappear, which means that it would send all of the Scions back to the Source. I think there's a good chance of this happening in some regard as it would essentially mean that the horrible future was avoided, but I don't really know how the First's "New Warriors of Light" are going to factor into this sort of ending. To that end, it might be better for the future of the game if they left the Crystal Exarch how he is so that at some point in the future we may end up going to the distant future for some reason (even though we essentially destroyed the Flux Capacitor in the Twinning).
