but, clear factual evidence is still lacking -- across universes doesn't mean 616 was ONE of those universes. there is no mention of 616 OR 4321 in the series so there is no way for you to prove in any way aside from speculation that those are the universes in question.
I'll agree with this, there is no actual number included.
On the other hand,
the End's Continuity timeline connects with Thanos' series to Annihilation to FF and other comics,
all Canon to 616.
Thanos during the End recalled his moment with the CCU, with the IG, his relationship to Death, these are historical events that CAN'T be the same for an Alternate Thanos (a Thanos from the 4321 Reality would be an Alternate version) It's not a diverged Universe either (which would share 616's History) because there is NO mention of it, on panel or in the bios.
And as we know, every Diverged storyline is announced at the begining of the issue, by the Watcher usualy. (even in other Titles that diverged besides What Ifs, like at the begining of Adventures of the X-Men)
The Bios state the Eternity in the "End" saga is the SAME one Genis killed.
We both know Genis & Entropy killed the Multiverse. (Totality of Eternity)
The Officially Marvel sponsored Marvunapp Bio of THOTI
states Thanos re-created the Multiverse. (616 is part of the multiverse)
I atleast conclusively proved that Horus came from where Akhenaten is from Ancient Egypt (the PAST of 616) and according to Zeus, those are Other Universes) is it a stretch to place the 4321 Reality there?
Not IMO.
After all, Akhenaten is from the Past, the Past was stated to be a separate Reality/Universe on panel in the End arc itself, and Thanos clearly differentiates the Two separate Universes.
"Tis also THIER Universe (like 4321, imo) that be imperiled"
And Thanos says,
"meanwhile Doctor Doom was also having HIS Universe (616, imo) badly shaken"
This at the very least tells us, we're dealing with more than just 616 or 4321.
It also tells that Horus came from Akhenaten's Reality (whatever it may be)
But more importantly, it separates Doom's Reality (where the End is taking place)
with Horus' (where Akhenaten is from) conclusively telling us if the End is not happening on 616, it surely ain't happening on 4321 either.
