For them, appearance is merely a shell that can be changed at will.
Of course, among elves, there are those who are fleshly and those who are not.
Flesh sprites cannot freely change their appearance.
The True Ancestor in Dead Ark: Lostbelt is an example of this.
Although they are the same species,
However, there are significant differences.
Because the flesh spirits are unaffected by the decline of the Age of Gods, they can move freely even in modern society.
Those spirits that exist in fantasy are more dependent on their environment.
They cannot survive in the modern world that rejects mystery; every minute and second they spend there is torture.
There is even a risk of death.
The journey to the Inner Sea of the Stars was more of a last resort.

call out--! !
An arrow pierces the air.
It shot out like the first rays of dawn, leaving a graceful curved trail in the air.
"Ooh-woo—!"
With a wild howl and a painful roar~.
The heavy thud of a fall echoed through the woods.
It shook down along with the snow piled high on the treetops.
Blood dyed the snow red.
"Phew... Although I don't have mechanical archery skills to assist me, my technique is still passable."
Yao approached the fallen ice wolf.
This is a ferocious beast that is common in the frozen tundra of Northern Europe.
Its bluish-green fur is as beautiful as a gemstone, its menacing fangs are curved and sharp like sickles, and its strong muscles can easily crush rocks.
Humans are nothing more than food to it.
The Snow Wolf never imagined that the humans who were once considered food would now see it as prey.
"Phew~ I'll take it back and let the villagers have a taste of meat."
Yao carried the ice wolf, which was as big as a small car.
It was quite an easy stroll through the woods.
All along the way, we saw the familiar white snowscape.
A forest composed of snow and ice crystals.
The mountains scorched by flames.
This is what Lostbelt looks like after experiencing the erroneous Ragnarok.
This is not only true in the Nordic region.
Even in territories outside of Northern Europe, the situation is similar, and in some cases, the environment is even more severe.
Although Northern Europe is full of snow and permafrost.
But at least it's habitable.
Outside of Northern Europe, many places are scorched by fire, and there is not even snow.
Humans would not exist in such an environment.
In the past, the flames of divine wrath unleashed by the Fire Giant King scorched the world, nearly destroying all civilizations.
All living things today are merely clinging to life.
They live under the protection of the goddess.
The round sun in the sky was several times larger than any other sun in human history, seemingly only inches away from the ground.
Although people did not notice anything unusual about the sun, it should not be this large.
However, Yao knew this.
The sun is as big as a washbasin because it contains Surtr.
This is the culprit who almost destroyed the world.
Yao walked all the way from the mountains and forests to Lake Vänern, the largest lake in Northern Europe and the third largest lake in Europe.
We followed the lakeside uphill until we arrived at the village.
For the past ten years or so since arriving in the Lostbelt, Yao has lived in this village.
They came into this world in the form of an infant.
Finally, he grew into a teenager.
However, the principle is more like Yao's spirit body degenerating into a human body, and then undergoing juvenile transformation.
He remains the same person he always was.
As for why the Imaginary Tree is made so complicated.
Yao's understanding of this is—
Before the Lostbelts were supported by the Imaginary Tree, they were extremely fragile imaginary worlds. Even if they were real worlds, they were much more fragile in quality than Pan-Human History.
If we let Yao enter the Lostbelt in his full form.
That would provoke resistance from the world itself.
Just as the Earth resists the arrival of extraterrestrial gods, it subconsciously drives away things that do not belong to this world.
Therefore, I need a new identity in this world.
And use this as an anchor to act.
As the Imaginary Tree is planted in the Lostbelt, its connection with this world gradually deepens.
The more power Yao Neng receives, the more power he gains.
In the beginning, when there was little connection with the world, weakness was inevitable.
Fortunately, the Imagination Tree has a safety net mechanism.
Skills that Yao possessed in Pan-Human History can be brought into Lostbelts for use.
Because Lostbelts are derived from Pan-Human History.
Lostbelts do not resist things that have existed since the beginning of human history.
"Brother Yao is back!"
"Wow, what a huge monster... Was it also killed by Brother Yao?! That's amazing!"
"Great! We're having a feast today!"
As soon as we entered the village, a group of children excitedly rushed towards us.
Yao threw the ice wolf's corpse on the ground.
Let the children look around with curiosity.
The village has only about fifty houses, and the entire village is made up of children.
There are very few adults among them.
Yao, a teenager, is already considered one of the oldest adults by the children.
The villages are also named using numbers.
It's just a simple village, number twenty-three.
There are quite a few villages like this in Northern Europe, such as Village No. 1, Village No. 2, and Village No. 3, which are like farms.

"Yao, you've gone hunting again. If you keep doing this, the Imperial Envoy will come and lecture you again..."
A young couple, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, came to Yao.
The two wore helpless smiles.
The man who spoke was in charge of managing the village, and he had a headache on his face.
In other words, he is the village chief.
"Seriously, Yao is really amazing... He always manages to hunt for food, while I never dare to go out."
The other woman was the village chief's partner.
She had already gotten used to Yao going out hunting, and was just as curious as the other children.
The old man only exists in legends.
In the frozen tundra of Northern Europe, anyone who reaches the age of fifteen must marry and have children; otherwise, they will be driven out of the village.

Outside the village, giants and monsters live.
Ordinary people living outside the village will only face death.
The village is surrounded by a protective wall engraved with primordial runes, which prevents giants and monsters from entering.
Normally, most people spend their entire lives in the village.
She got married and had children at the age of fifteen.
Then, at the age of twenty-five, he was sent out of the village, which marked the end of his life.
No one would find this strange.
This has been a tradition for over a century and is common knowledge that people around the world take for granted.
There are a hundred villages like this.
The rules were personally set by the only surviving goddess and are to be enforced by the Valkyries, who are the Valkyries.
"It's okay, the rules don't say we can't go out."
"If the imperial envoy really comes, I can simply send out some offerings; you don't need to worry."
Yao laughed casually.
They didn't take the villagers' concerns seriously.
One reason is that the Valkyrie harbored no hostility.
As messengers, they typically only appear to deliver divine pronouncements and during coming-of-age ceremonies.
Normally, as long as no one breaks the rules set by the goddess.
The Valkyries hardly ever care.
The Valkyries were indeed quite surprised to see Yao able to scale the walls of the village to hunt wild animals.
However, they were only observing out of curiosity.
There wasn't much interference for a long time.

Although Yao Lai has only been involved in this strange event for a short time, he still possesses some of the strength found in the pan-human history.
There's not much to worry about regarding the Valkyries.
Moreover, Yao and Brunhilde are so loving that they treat these Valkyries like their own sisters-in-law.
