Spoiler:
The fal'Cie from Lindiez made Cocoon, which is run and managed by the fal'Cie. When they created it they brought up humans as well. The Cocoon fal'Cie became tired of their task and wanted to return to "the maker" which would be either Lindiez the one that created them or Bhunivelze the one that created everyone, likely Bhunivelze given things. However, as said before the fal'Cie could not do any of that. They had a task and had to follow it no matter how much they wanted change. So they forced l'Cie to do that for them. Their idea was destroy Cocoon, which is home to millions of humans. When humans die a portal to the god's realm. If millions die that portal has to open will be large enough for them to return to Bhunivelze. Unfortunately, what none of them knew was that it is a portal to the Unseen Realm that opens and thus chaos.
What happens after that plan is adverted is that through a miracle by the Goddess Etro causing a time paradox by contradicting the expected outcome time gets screwed up. In the course of resolving that issue the heart of Etro is destroyed, which kills the goddess and also what was holding back the chaos. Etro dead, chaos is allowed to run free and escapes the Unseen Realm into the Living Realm. Chaos is a corrupting element that twists all natural laws. The result is that humans no longer can age or give birth, they are still mortal just ageless now. The chaos slowly is destroying the world.
Lightning Returns picks up 500 years after the last game where the chaos has reduce the world to only four islands and those will not survive for long. The goal of Lightning to hold back the chaos long enough for Bhunivelze to awaken and take the souls of the humans from the dying world into a new world. The world will end in 6 days with no one doing anything, but Bhunivelze will awaken in thirteen days. That is the end of the world
