I theorize that there was something inside the planet that caused the chain reaction.

What do you think?
What is said in game is A noise from within the earth started to manifest, disrupting the Ancient's creation magic every time they heard it. It started localized, but has time went, the problem amplified. At the end, the problem was so bad their own magic started to manifest their deepest fears.

That's what we know and we can only speculate from here. It's already said the sound's origin was from deep within the star/planet. My hypothesis is the Ancient's creation magick is somehow related to the primordial Darkness and its heavy usage created the original imbalance between Light and Darkness. If I'm right, bolstering the Darkness so, might have given the Darkness that hunger for more power.

Here I'm referring to the Antitower cutscene: There, Minifilia/Hydelyn told us that Light and Darkness were at peace/equilibrium at the beginning of time. I'm increasingly skeptical it might refer to a time after their summoning. I think, somehow, the Darkness have lured the convocation to summon a deity so Darkness could overwhelm Light.
