Hermitcraft season 8 was a simulation. The moon becoming big was a glitch in the code, the hermits were somehow transported into that season with their memories wiped of being transported and they had to escape. The moon was what tipped them off to the urgency of the situation.
In boatem a robot ended up becoming the leader in place of Mumbo - a robot which I personally belive to be a form of grumbot - which might've been a manifestation of the hermits having been captured in the simulation.
Maybe grumbot from empires wasn't destroyed entirely, it's consciousness used the last of its energy, combined with the energy of its creator, (Grian) trying desperately to save its life, in order to slip into the rift to recuperate its strength.
Now I'm hearing you say, "but Emporer!Grumbot was made in the season 9 crossover, after season 8" but hear me out: time travel.
The rift already breaks the laws of space so why not time, if a super computer figured out how to harness The Rifts power surely it would be able to scatter different versions of itself through the past.
Maybe the computer was created by the watchers, fragments of their collective consciousness going into it in case of a disaster. That could explain why it was all linked to Grian.
Grumbot knew that Grian would be the ideal person to bring it onto hermitcraft initially, because he had the power of the watchers. And it was right because he ended up being the one strong enough to open the rift, and in the end with his extra energy, save Emporer!Grumbot
He - Grian
It - Grumbot
They - The Watchers
...
So uh, who else enjoyed the permit challenges? :]

From Mumbo’s new title screens:
“GRUMBOT PRINT COMMAND READ OUT (NO. 23411):
01001001 00100000 01001101 01001001 01010011 01010011 00100000 01001101 01011001 00100000 01000100 01000001 01000100 01010011 01001001 00100000 01001101 01001001 01010011 01010011 00100000 01001101 01011001 00100000 01000100 01000001 01000100 01010011 01001001 00100000 01001101 01001001 01010011 01010011 00100000 01001101 01011001 00100000 01000100 01000001 01000100 01010011”
Which roughly translates to:
“I MISS MY DADS I MISS MY DADS I MISS MY DADS”
…oh…
