It's often easier to work with evil, which at least has self interest you can appeal to.
Curing ignorance? When it's backed up by decades of carried grievance? That can be more challenging
So far as we know, Xykon's plan to use the Gate for world domination starts with casting a spell with Redcloak.
We do know that said spell will give the Dark One power over the Gate.
We do know the Gods will destroy the world and start things over again, rather than let the Dark One use it against them.
So if Xykon gets near to taking control over the final Gate, we expect that the Gods will have a new vote, and destroy the world, again.
