Untrue. It's stated outright that the world of Dark Souls is locked in a cycle, that kingdoms are simply built upon the ruins of much older, more ancient ones, and etc. It is entirely possible that the Age of Fire in Dark Souls II is not the same as previous Ages, and the First Flame simply rekindled itself after an Age of Dark in order to continue the cycle. That's the whole point of the Dark Souls. Your journey doesn't matter. Link the flame, or don't. If you don't, someone else will. And on the off chance that NOBODY links the flame, and it goes out, ushering in an Age of Dark, then the smoldering ash of the First Flame will eventually reignite on its own.
