The story continued in Coil, which Alisaie recruited you to investigate after Operation Archon. She specifically mentions it during the cutscene where she asks for your help.
And even before that, the Scion dialogue during the primal hardmode quests' cutscenes also indicate that the HM battles take place after the fall of the Praetorium. So it's always been post-Operation Archon.
