Dan DiDio had said that the Crises "didn't happened" in the New 52 reality. So in essence, I believe that Forever Evil is a lead-up to a 'retold' version of the Crisis of Infinite Earths. A modernization of the mega crossover for having new readers to get more interested in DC Comics. And I also believe that it doesn't have to involve permanently destroying universes.

Also I do have the inkling that the pre-Flashpoint era of New Earth still exist because of comics like Superman: Doomed #2 showing flashes of the original New Earth and the 52 Multiverse and Justice League 3000 with THE original Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) appearing.
