Onaga's return is a prophecy, so it does not matter how it should be completed, a prophecy promises that itself will be fulfilled. Except what it says that will happen (for example, the prophecy says that Onaga will return, he returned into Reptile's body, but maybe he could find another way, but he trended to return anyway), how it will happen is open to chance. We already know that it's not a myth, because Onaga indeed returned before the timeline changed.

Since those changes were made after Onaga's plans (because he started deceiving Shujinko before the MK edition that Liu Kang won), this prophecy is still working.

Considering that this MK will be set in 25 years of timespan, I believe that it is too long for the Dragon King's return, because on the unchanged timeline, he returned earlier than this or at the least on the same time.

These are just numbers that I speculated myself, but true or not, they still fit into a coherent speculation based only on story facts.
