It seems that any evil civilization, or anyone who builds the prophecy of Ragnarok can indefinitely postpone the apocalypse with a bit of careful planning.
The apocalypse counter stops once it reaches a hundred so any downwards change at 100 brings it below the apocalypse threshold. As an evil civilization Eidolons can be built at Malevolent designs, they can then be deleted to reduce the AC. Having enough Eidolons on hand however can be tricky as they are a fairly expensive unit.
With the Prophecy of Ragnarok things become a lot easier. If it is in a military production centre then it can probably build a scout per turn, which can then be deleted leaving the AC permanently at 99.
Is it worth the expense to your empire? I don't know. I used the prophecy of Ragnarok solution to prevent the world ending as a Grigori en route to a conquest victory. To lose most of my heroes to the apocalypse would have been fairly devastating for my military effort and I only needed to keep it up for a few dozen turns.
