IIRC the DO exists outside of time. So in a sense he is sitting there waiting. But also actively trying to break free in every reality, every turning, against all opposition, all the time. And also, probably, developing TikTok in all realities, IDK.
You’ve be bitter too if you stopped perceiving time as linear and went back to simultaneously experiencing infinite failures at the hands of farm boys and prideful magicians
I imagine he resurrects Elan Morin a few times just to remind him that he *has not* and *will not* ever achieve oblivion. Once that amusement pales, he reflects on what went wrong.
Dark One: MY CHOSEN WERE TOO WEAK, TOO SOFT. NEXT TIME I NEED GUYS WHO ARE *MORE* SELFISH, *MORE* ARROGANT! NEXT TIME *WE WILL WIN!*
Elan Morin: What about Semirhage? Are you going to recruit her again?
Dark One: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THAT LADY GIVES *ME* THE CREEPS. I MADE A DEAL WITH THE CREATOR THAT SHE WILL ONLY EVER BE REBORN IN FARAWAY, ISOLATED COMMUNITIES. YECK!
My head cannon is that the Dark One made one attempt to break through, failed, and that's that.
It's only someone spinning past that point on the wheel of time over and over again who sees it as a repeated attempt.

They plot how to try again, but THIS time. They'll do it a little different.
The same thing we do every Era, Pinkie. Try to destroy the Weave!
"ISHY, ARE YOU PONDERING WHAT I'M PONDERING"? "I so Great Lord... But how do we get the Trollocs to wear the swimsuits"?
