What lore do you ignore?

The one that actually survives.

Yeah, it is good to be on the winning side. Again why this story direction was so dangerous.

"I choose to be the ones who benefit from the massacre instead of the ones massacred."

The Ancients didn't die from stagnation. They were sabotaged and murdered. And if you think the sundered civilizations are beyond dying out due to sabotage and murder, let me direct you to the 7 shards that were created as fodder to build us. Entire worlds worth of sundered who exist only to be slaughtered and consumed. Oh, and all the civilizations on the Source that were doomed due to the calamities. The only way one could be sure they "survived" as a sundered being is to be the WoL -- with Mommy Goddess literally shielding us from death, minus the time she needed us to die so time travel could be invented. And even they will die thousands of years before they would have had they not been sundered.
