Ye Chuan listened calmly to their grand, downright fanciful plan, without a ripple of emotion inside.
Travel through time and space to kill Zeref before he became immortal?
He sneered inwardly.
How naive. How could mortals like you tamper with the causality of time at will?
Once you interfered with the past, the resulting temporal paradox would have consequences far more terrifying than a single Zeref.
Still...
A barely perceptible flicker of interest crossed Ye Chuan's eyes.
This so-called Eclipse Gate is rather interesting.
It can connect to the age of dragons four hundred years ago, when dragons and humans still lived together.
Perhaps it could help me find some experience packs more interesting than the wizards of this era.
In the end, Ye Chuan merely gave a noncommittal nod, outwardly agreeing to consider helping with their plan.

"I found that whether it was the Dragon King Festival four hundred years ago, the birth of the dark wizard Zeref, or the appearance of Acnologia, known as the Black Dragon of the End..."
"The timing of everything points strangely to the same phenomenon-"
"An eclipse."
Ye Chuan's gaze sharpened slightly at her words.
Both realized at the same time that behind the Grand Magic Games, which seemingly existed only to establish the strongest guild, there appeared to lurk an even greater conspiracy woven from fate and time.
The final day of the Grand Magic Games.
The event was a survival battle royale
