I think, instead, he is the one who has activated the Hedrons in order to free the Eldrazi and therefore get the revenge he seeks. There are several other cards whose flavor text indicates the hedrons have only recently "awoken." But, we'll only see in time. I don’t think he’ll get his spark back.

It could be the name of the novel, telling the story of him regaining his spark, or as you speculated it could be the set name. Obviously I'm in the dark as well (no pun intended), but my hunch is that Dark Ascension will relate in some way to the ascension of Ob Nixilis to planeswalker status.
