Who will be the next world chess champion after Magnus Carlsen?

Don't you know! The answer is obvious! Lily Carlsen will be the next world chess champion! (Try some other name if not Lily 🤣🤣🤣)
I think Carlsen will probably hold on to the crown for a couple of cycles. In those cycles he will probably face some combination of Caruana. Nepo, MVL and Ding (I'm hoping Aronian will qualify for a WC match but for every cycle it seem less and less likely). After that Firouzja will start to enter his prime and Carlsen will probably have peaked and be on a downward trend. So Firouzja seem like a pretty good guess right now. He has a long way to go though, so plenty of time for other young challengers to appear.
I think it will be still Magnus Carlsen if he plays his best. Otherwise it will be the 2nd world champion Levon Aronian 🏆🏆🏆.
