the old universe wasn't destroyed. it couldn't have been destroyed.
instead, it became the foundation of the new universe, and crowley and aziraphale's love—as one post beautifully put it—were the big bang.
we saw that everyone and everything that vanished turned into stardust, miracles themselves consist of it, or rather it's all about manipulation of matter and energy.
the laws of thermodynamics clearly describe that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed. god created the universe out of herself, everything in existence is an extension of her, meaning that if we combine current particle science with religious theory, we arrive at the higgs field and higgs boson, sometimes (very inaccurately) referred to as the god particle.
without going into detail, it's an explanation as to how certain particles gain mass, because without that process there would be, well, pretty much nothing. no stars, no planets, nothing with mass. just pure energy.
so when god created the first universe, it was a playground for herself out of herself, a source of amusement. she describes it as a game of cards in a dark room with a dealer who smiles all the time; the house ALWAYS wins and the game is rigged from the start.
destroying said universe was always part of the story, six thousand years and that's it. but "destruction" does not mean it gets destroyed in the way many think, it cannot be destroyed. so what does happen? a change of states, transformations from one kind of energy into another, back into literal and metaphorical stardust.
everything the universe was remains, nothing just vanishes and disappears without a trace. the new universe she created is still an extension of her, there's no alternative, but aligning with crowley and aziraphale's request, she does not meddle. she does not turn it into a story, she simply lets it exist, no celestial intervention. real free will, nothing after death, no pain, no punishment.
you could think of celestials and their planes as a specific kind of matter, one which does not come to be in the new universe but was present in the old one. their energy remains. they remain.
changed, yes, and different, but still the same they have always been. their love is real now, it doesn't serve a purpose like it did before, it's about crowley and aziraphale, anthony and asa, two beings who will fall in love with each other in every universe, time after time after time.
