Why let logic get in teh way of anything?  I can see way to justify killing the
young stone (even if the old stone does it) and I can also see ways in which
everything gets completly screwed up destroying the universe.

Something as complicated as time-travel should have results left entirly up to
the individual GM, based on what would be best for your campaign.  There are
enough different models of paradox handling to choose from in Sci-fi books, I'm
sure you can find one that works for you.
