It’s just Velen’s bros you can’t resurrect with chronomancy. There’s infinite Gul’dans.

They will be back otherwise he would have been killed off instead of imprisoned. Victory by us means no lose ends, but having him alive is a huge one.
that would support more of the yrel invasion than the legion… but I’m sure there has to be some universe where velen took the deal and the other two leaders didnt.
I’m joking around anyway, but Evil Velen could be fun.
well considering there’s multiple timelines everything is possible so… it’s reasonable to think about it.
Without Argus, they will die permanently. I think that alone is a pretty good motivation to start laying low, let alone having their big daddy Titan out of the picture.
Which is really silly. The class halls did what the factions couldn’t, so of course we immediately got rid of them to go back to an inferior system.
Argus merely sped up the process. Demons were reincarnating on their own before Sargeras started his crusade.

Ah you’re right:
Demons killed outside of the Twisting Nether simply return to the Nether, where they reform. Sargeras managed to hasten this process by using the world-soul of the titan Argus, until it was defeated by adventurers. Demons killed in the Twisting Nether or in areas saturated with fel die permanently.
You’re forgetting too that many of the demons in the Legion (i.e. the Eredar) were purely corrupted and free will taken away by the power of Sargeras, same as the other demons, they were only united/unified under Sargeras’ power.
Without Sargeras actively renewing the corruption of the Eredar and keeping the other various demons in line through fear/death either directly or through his proxies (Archimonde and Kil’jaden)… i am sure the Eredar are becoming uncorrupted overtime and/or at the very least have had their free will restored… while the other demons, their ranks full of chaos, disorganized without Sargeras there to maintain order and force obedience.
We already seen similar already in Warcraft History with the Orcs… Corrupted by Sargeras/demons but once Sargeras and his Eredar proxies Archimonde & Kil’Jaden were out of the picture, even individuals like Gul’dan were able to break free from their enslavement and ultimately turn against them, and the Orcs too were able to break free from the demonic corruption.
In a way Fel Corruption is like how the Lich King commands the scourge… it’s distance/power based… So while Sargeras, Kil’jaden, or Archimonde are close and fully powered, the corrupted forces of the Legion are kept in check and their free will are stripped away… but if they are gone/too far for too long or are weakened/defeated… slowly the certain forces of the Legion regained their free will and were able to resist further corruption such as the Orcs… This is no different than certain forces of the scourge, the Forsaken, broke free when the Lich King was distracted and power weakened by Illidan and wasn’t able to keep his scourge in-check.
Now where would be the fun if we all got along and smashed evil.
Its better that we smash our heads in for a while in an expac to see the true big bad dude show up. Who fed off our bickering.
Then people go how did this happen? Again…oh crap wonder twins power actovate. For now…
Tinfoil…khadgar didn’t leave to research how to deal with the sword. He left…to get away from this crap. Smartest man on Azeroth for doing so.

Big, red shiny “Legion Invasion” button.
Maybe it should be a green button.
I have to love this part of the lore:
It reminds me of the gru meme:
- Create class orders because the factions are ineffective
- Use order halls as super effective entities that work better than the factions to defeat our biggest threat yet
- Immediately disband order halls despite the planet literally being attacked every 2 min
- Immediately disband order halls despite the planet literally being attacked every 2 min

my personal favourite is:
alliance having a space warship but not allowed to use to decimate sylvanas crazy selfish goal cuz reasons.
lore has been pretty bad for the last couple years, most of the people I know is sick of sylvanas…
The Legion right after Sargeras’s defeat

Could see Magnus Manastorm bumping into the remnants of the Legion since he has been flying through the Twisting Nether. I think that’s the closest way the Legion could be part of Shadowlands. 
You’d think that the Demons without strong leadership would devolve into civil wars, vying for plots of land and power. IDK just my thoughts.
A few things I’d imagine there is a massive power struggle within the Legion. Not only that, but I’d imagine fairly powerful groups could have split off, or individual powerful demons may have gone their own way.
Also one thing to consider: the WoD ending cinematic. Where did Archimonde die? The Nether or on Draenor?
Denathrius recruits a bunch of warlocks, who have figured out how to summon demons into the Shadowlands without them getting trapped in the Theater of Pain. Has them call in his Nathrezim bros, who use a boatload of Anima to replicate the accelerated summoning powers of Argus. BL is back, under Denathrius’s control. All hail our teleporting overlords.
