The Ender Watchers wanted to ensure no Ender Lord would attempt to start another conquest on the Void Lord's scale. They locked the End Crystals within New Dragonspire so that nobody, not even themselves, would ever again gain access to such power. In dire situations, the crystals would be prepared to be scattered across the Overworld. It is unclear if the other Ender Lords agreed to the Ender Watcher's measures around the crystals. Unlike the other Ender Lords, Ceris vowed to watch over the Overworld and maintain balance in the realm.
