PC: Extended Ten Kingdoms Period

So, how possible/plausible is it for China to remain disunited and divided into 10 kingdoms longer than it was IOTL? Or is China destined to stay unified at this point?

EDIT: Also, I forgot to add-would such an extended 10 Kingdoms Period butterfly away the Mongol invasions? Or is it possible that Temujin would still be born, take power, and form the world's largest contiguous empire?

Are you talking specifically about the Ten Kingdoms alone? I assume that their survival requires constant conflict and fighting in Northern China. Even if the Song are prevented from coming to power or conquering China, if there's any dynasty which manages to control all of Northern China, China will be unified.
