The moment they come back and save Earth, they find Splinter, and then Leo does the healing hands on him, BRINGING him back to life. After that Splinter ends up with the ability to talk with the dead, and we can FINALLY bring some more magic into this series. MORE MAGIC I SAY! If the turtles are successful at preventing the Triceratons from creating the black hole generator, then the events that lead up to Splinter's death will never happen. They're trying to change the past and as a result, the future. Did you watch "Tale of the Yokai"? This show is playing by the rules that you can not change the past. "Annihilation Earth" is going to happen again, the question is in what way is it going to happen again (or this time as the case may be)? Hell, just like the Turtles themselves set the events in motion that led to Yoshii coming to New York in the first place, I'd bet you that it's the Turtles themselves who will cause the Triceratons to come to Earth in the first place. That was just one example of time travel. Time travel and alteration of the past and/or future is very complicated and you can't just state the rules about time alteration by using just one example. We have no idea how time travel works in this show or what the rules of it are. What you just stated maybe an actual rule, but it's just a theory! It's not confirmed unless there are more examples that shows that it fits into the logic and universe of this show!

The only confirmed rule about time travel in this show is that the black hole that swallowed Earth prevents any consecutive attempts at traveling back in time to prevent said black hole from not happening,  The black hole is so strong that not even time can escape it and this prevents the turtles from trying to stop the black hole from happening a second time if they fail the first time.

We just have to wait until the midseason finale to see what happens, alright?
