Numidium comming back has nothing to do with the towers being destroyed. Presumably he comes back and attacks Alinor before the Thalmor can destroy the towers. Anyways Nirn was destroyed by Numidium but the rest of Mundus was still in tact, which wouldn't have been the case if the towers were destroyed and everyone was launched back into the dawn era.

PS, Nirn and mundus are not the same thing. A lot of people seem to think that they are.
