Indeed. I definitely believe that Lumen Histoire is connected to the past, maybe literally connected to the past. I feel that there should be since apparently Zeref and Natsu met before and as far as we have seen Zeref has been on Tenrou Island for a long time so the whole him meeting Natsu when he was a kid while he was searching for Igneel is out of the question. Plus if that was true I'm sure in that time period someone with even a little knowledge of Zeref would have recognized him from stories and would have spread the rumor to the world and MC about him not being dead.
