True you are right, but in a way they both would be the same thing. He wants humans to be pure and good and not like him, and at the same time that won't happen unless the world as well as the people who live in it have a change of heart like he did on "that one day" and start living instead of making the same mistakes as he puts it. Here is the full quote: "I've been living for centuries and I've watch the rise and fall of different ages....people hate and evil causes conflict.. but I seek an age that will purify all of this." He then goes to talk about "his gift to the world" "to rebalance the world and allow it to resurrect" and that when we get the whole "It will be a one sided annihilation". This is when he lost hope on the world and its people and decides to have one final war as he goes against the world and its people.
