This is an important point, I think. If we look at the way G'raha's timeline-splitting endeavours worked out and apply that same structure to Venat's potential efforts to avert the future we foretold, it is entirely possible that she did succeed and from that point onward time spun off in a different direction that we will never see or have any sense of its existence, because we are living in the equivalent of the 8UE timeline. It won't be wiped out, it won't be altered, but can only hope that the alteration succeeded.

We wouldn't, because it didn't come to pass in this timeline where her efforts failed and things played out as foretold.
