well are you really asking a question or just trying to present your views, if you have been toldl of a new heavens & new earth, you have to understand these are metaphors for the ruling (new heavens) & new earth for a cleasned earth let me show you a few scriptures
(2 Peter 3:5-7) . . .For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. 7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.
this was talking about the flood.
(Proverbs 2:21-22) . . .For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. 22 As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.
(Revelation 19:19-21) 19Â And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. 20Â And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. 21Â But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them.
now this is called the righteous war of armegeddon, but notice the bodies were all over the earth & birds were eating them so much for a burned up earth\
God promised never to destroy every thing again like he did at the flood
(Genesis 8:21) . . .Never again shall I call down evil upon the ground on man’s account, because the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up; and never again shall I deal every living thing a blow just as I have done.

It's not self-centered at all. The entire universe was created to support planet Earth. And if there are any aliens, they are actually demons in disguise. The "end times" refers to the end of our corrupt system of government on Earth. This would not involve your imaginary civilization elsewhere. Furthermore, when Jesus comes to rule God's kingdom on Earth, every knee will bow--including yours.

“There never has been a time when there have not been worlds like this, and … there never will be a time when there will not be worlds organized and prepared for intelligent beings to dwell upon. And they are continually coming into existence, and undergoing changes and passing through the same experience we are passing through. … and every earth, and the people thereof, in their turn and time, receive all that we receive, and pass through all the ordeals that we are passing through”
So, no, it would not be the same everywhere else as it is on this earth, but the pattern is the same.....

if, and everything in this answer is gonna be an if, because it could all be wrong....but if God made the world, and all the aliens and us, then God can presumably do pretty much what he wants, if it all came from him anway. that might mean He could decide all the world could end at once. i don't know.
if He didn't create the world and doesn;t exist, then presumably when the world ends from the sun exploding or whatever, the planets nearest'll die first. depennds where all the aliens live.

"Look back again at the pale blue dot of the preceding chapter [the link]. Take a good long look at it. Stare at the dot for any length of time and then try to convince yourself that God created the whole Universe for one of the 10 million or so species of life that inhabit that speck of dust. Now take it a step further: Imagine that everything was made just for a single shade of that species, or gender, or ethnic or religious subdivision. If this doesn't strike you as unlikely, pick another dot. Imagine it to be inhabited by a different form of intelligent life. They, too, cherish the notion of a God who has created everything for their benefit. How seriously do you take their claim?" - Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)
