So it can destroy a universe and somehow aid in the creation of a new one.
Eternity/Infinity > PF. You know this, I know it, we all know it.
The PF destroying a "cosmos?" At the time, yes, in theory, but yes, but not space-time and the concepts,
but rather,
the physical make-up of a universe. (eg. planets-stars-galaxies)
The Abstracts (and any self-sustaining entity) are completely unaffected by the PF wackin stars.
This is why in that Rachel scene we see that Galactus survives, and Death,
and I'm sure the Watcher, who also doesn't need a "sun" to live.
Therefore obviously all the Abstracts live on, and other entites on par or greater than Galactus.
Heck, even guys like Hyperion would go on.
As far as "creating" a universe? We've never seen that happen, not even in a "What If",
which is the only place where the PF actually did destroy the contents of a universe.
PF did this on two separate occasions in two "What Ifs."
In fact, I've never seen the PF/Jean/whathaveyou create or recreate anything more than a Planet.

The Watcher even said without the PF there would be NO life in the universe or even potential for life.
... Life that needs stars.

Yup. He was ascending up the food chain but the moral of the story was that it's all one big cycle.
They even ascended beyond the Beyond Realm and they were at the molecular level.
Then from there back right where they started.
We had this debate once before. That interpretation was incorrect then, as it is now old friend.
I still find it hard to believe:
you think a "higher" ascension was "quarks/atoms/molecules/bacteria" which are located withIN Eternity/Infinity ...
... when Kubik & Kosmos clearly went outside/beyond Eternity.
Nah friend, obviously the "back right where they started" was inside Eternity at it's most basic level. ("quarks/atoms/molecules/bacteria"

It was very telling that Kubik called the first layer the most important.
That was the layer dealing with the stars and the PF.
"most important?" ... lol ... "Stars?" ... Oh, the fragile jelly bean in Kubik's hand.
Hmm, off the top of my dome,
I can name 10 cats now, and 15 cats then, that wave a hand and an entire universe goes lights out, or on.
PF was first, and this represented the weakest link.
But, since at the time it was intrinsically connected to the stars,
it was most important concerning life that needs them.
But "stars?" ... Stars don't mean anything to anyone that was presented after the PF in that ascension.

My bad, yeah. It draws it's power from all potential life. That's still huge.
Sorta.
The PF, in its in-universe manifested state (Rachel at the time) tapped into the near-infinite energies of life unborn.
But, not "all" life, just "life" that wiil need stars to survive.

Again with this shit.
The tech was killing Rachel not Phoenix Force.
Again with this shit.
The tech was killing both Rachel and the PF who were one and the same at the time.
This is why Roma clearly stated:

"Behold, that child is Phoneix. Living embodiment of one of the primal forces.
You can no more divide her spirit from flesh than you can life from death.
There is a natural order to her being"
---------------------------------------------------
Galactus was never going to be able to "separate" them. Rachel WAS the PF embodied.
Ripping them apart would only kill both who were one. This is why the "stars were fading."
Because the PF was dying. ... Rachel? (on her own)
who cares.
