We'll certainly always have the ability to form some approximate lines - but in Europe, there will be many possible ones. Some might think the proper English line is Britons-Norman-Britain. Other may prefer Saxon-Norman-Britain. Others yet may think Norse-Norman-Britain is where it's at. Or Roman-Norman-Britain as Ed Beach seems to think. Likewise, should it be Gaul-Carolingian-France? Franks-Carolingian-France? Rome-Carolingian-France? Or so eone else than Carolingian? There's a good case for each of them but no clear single line of descent. Just relations and exchange between civs.
That's the big difference with Europe - you can build reasonable history paths, but there's no single clear obvious path like China has, becsuse Europe is by and large distinctly separate civs that are interlinked together, not three dynasties of an emoire that claims (near) continuous existence,
