In shadowbringers Emet very clearly states that he has high expectations of you, from the moment he witnessed your "soul" at the start of Shb it was clear he had an interest in you which we know why now.


The question is, had you been able to contain the light as he had hoped, what would the "path of lesser tragedy" be, knowing the current lore how would you feasibly bring back the original existence? You would have Emet clearly assist you but how would your ability to handle all that light play into the equation?

Assuming he knows that amount of light CAN be contained by an unsundered he could likely be thinking of the possibility that you can recreate the ancient world not by destroying shards but by simply combining souls of the sundered till you get a being of equal power which obviously cant be that simple otherwise they wouldnt bother raising sundered ascians when you could combine them into the original entity.

The source has already been 7 times rejoined and you technically are able to handle the light once you are 8/13 a lot better, still though, what path could there have been that through your ability to handle the light? It would be the common ground Emet mentioned at the start, question is how would that work.
