Regarding the theory that the world is returning to its' 'original state', it's very interesting but actually not the case. I mean, the 'original' state of the world is unformed/nothingness. No Disparity, no Light, no Dark. Dark and 'unformed/nothingness' is two different things in the Dark Souls universe if you pay attention to the wording in the intro.

"In the Age of the Ancients, the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of grey crags, archtrees, and Everlasting Dragons."

The world knows no Light, nor Dark, because there was no way to tell the differences, the disparity, between it.

"Then there was Fire, and with Fire, came Disparity. Heat, and cold. Life, and Death. And 'of course', Light, and Dark."

The wording indicates that 'Dark' was recognized as a thing when Fire came to be. And it's surely interesting that in the beginning, everything was Hollows. But again, Hollows simply are beings without souls. So why am I saying that the theory where the world is returning to its' original state is not the case, if I agree that beings from the intro were Hollows?

If you look at the entire world we journeyed through, mostly, if not ALL, only Humans were Hollowed. Hollowed because they were branded with the Darksign. No other living beings seemed Hollowed, so why would the world returns to its' original state, if only Humans were affected by the Darksign? Why would ONLY Humans be branded with Darksign in the first place?

Think about it.
