"After you're done, I'm going to bleed you." Seeing that no one was talking, Yu Jin walked over to the golden tree sapling, ready to let it bathe in his blood.
"Bleeding? Didn't you say that golden trees can grow here?" Lisa asked in confusion when she heard that Yu Jin was going to bleed.
"Of course you can, but that would take too long. I'll ripen it, and when it grows up, it will be better able to handle things unique to your world."
As Ember said this, he cut a wound on his arm.
Thick blood flowed out from the wound on Yu Jin's arm. The color of the blood was so bright that it seemed like it did not come from this world.
Ying looked at the blood dripping from Yujin's arm. At first, she just thought that Yujin's blood was so red, so unreal.
However, as her gaze focused, Ying saw more colors in the bright red.
There were too many of them, countless colors that Ying had seen or had not seen, interweaving on the red curtain, so strange and bizarre, as if all the colors in the world were in it.
Ying rubbed her sore eyes. She looked at the bright red in front of her and inexplicably felt that the blood was like paint.
Bright red paint flowed from the embers, which was why they felt the scene before them was so unreal.
Ying's guess was correct, Yujin's blood was the pigment, the pigment used to create the world. The color beneath the bright red was the possibility of another world.
If a painter can use this paint well, it is enough to create a whole new world on the canvas.
The blood of something that didn’t seem real spilled and landed on the golden tree with its crown raised.
Blood and flesh are the best nutrients for the golden tree. And now, this golden tree seedling that has sprouted in another world has absorbed something that its mother has never tasted.
The blood of the embers was spilled on the land where the golden tree seedlings were, and the bright red soon faded into brown.
Then, the golden tree seedling felt a huge warm current rushing up its entire body from its roots.
"Hold on! The golden tree is starting to grow!"
"Boom!"
As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, the sound of the earth rumbling came from all directions. The ground on the top of the mountain was surging like waves on the sea.
Beneath the earth, the brilliant roots of the golden tree began to grow wildly at an extremely rapid rate.
The thicker the roots of the golden tree, the dimmer the golden light on them becomes, which makes the golden tree look more like an ordinary tree.
This is a normal phenomenon when the golden tree grows. The golden tree will only be as bright as gold when it is a seedling and a full-grown tree.
As the seedlings grow, they will gradually grow towards the direction of ordinary trees. When they have absorbed enough nutrients, they will return to their original state and transform their huge selves into pure gold again.
The roots of the golden tree are like strong and powerful wooden dragons, struggling to grow deep into the earth.
Whether it is hard frozen soil or huge rocks, they are all like paper in front of these wriggling roots. They can easily crush them and then continue to grow deeper.
Above the ground, the branches of the golden tree seedlings are growing rapidly, just like its roots beneath the earth.
In just a blink of an eye, the golden tree grew to a height of dozens of meters. Its size was comparable to other ancient trees on the continent.
However, when the main trunk was about to touch the crowd, its growth rate suddenly slowed down.
Then, several vine-like branches hung down from the thick branches of the golden tree. These branches tightly entangled everyone and pulled them high into the sky.
When everyone left the ground, the golden tree had no more worries and began to grow freely.
A wooden wall that stretched from the sky to the earth began to appear, pushing aside large pieces of earth and rocks. Nothing could stop the wooden wall from advancing.
The people entangled by the vines found themselves getting higher and higher... until they broke through the clouds.
"Swish--" An extremely dazzling golden light began to fall, dyeing everything around it golden.
"Look! What is that!"
"Tree, what a big tree!"
“How come it grows so fast!”
……
The Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain is located in Mondstadt, so the people of Mondstadt were naturally the first to notice the changes on the mountain.
When they looked towards the snow-capped mountains, they were shocked to find that the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain was no longer the same frosty white it had been for thousands of years.
The golden color that covers the entire snow mountain completely suppresses the color of the white snow. I am afraid that Longji Snow Mountain will have to be renamed "Longji Golden Mountain" in the future.
What made all this possible were the huge trees that broke through the clouds on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
There is no summit of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain now, because its top has long been squeezed out by the golden trees that have stopped growing.
The huge crown of the golden tree shaded the entire Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain! The dazzling golden color was emitted from the crown of the tree.
“Master Diluk, you can’t…”
"boom!"
The door to Jean's office was opened roughly, and Diluk walked in in a hurry. Behind him, followed the anxious Wood.
When Diluk saw the scene in Qin's office, he was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal.
"Wood, don't worry about it, go down." Qin knew what happened after a quick look, so she let Wood go down.
"Yes!" Wood saluted as the Knight of Favonius and stopped worrying about Diluk's forced entry into Captain Jean's office.
"Bang!" Diluk hooked his back foot and the office door was closed.
"Yes, I'm beginning to have a good impression of the Knights." Diluk glanced at Eula, Kaeya, Rosaria and Venti, nodded in appreciation.
These people are the backbone of the Knights Templar, and they arrived before him, which is worthy of praise.
Although he came from the Dawn Winery, Kaia and the others did arrive earlier, and this attitude is worthy of praise.
"Kaeya, Rosaria, Lisa and Albedo are not here?" Jean asked, looking at Kaeya and Rosaria who were surrounding her.
Lisa and Albedo are also indispensable high-end combat forces in Mond, and they are knowledgeable and can always find the reasons for things.
And this time, they will probably have to rely on them to deal with the huge trees that suddenly appeared on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
But to her surprise, Rosaria and Kaia both shook their heads and said:
"Lisa (Albedo) went out for something."
"Out?" Qin frowned slightly. Lisa and Albedo, two otakus, actually went out? What could attract them to go out?
"No need to guess, it's just embers." Wendy sat on the windowsill, looking at her palms helplessly.
There were many auras in the wind in his hands, including those of Ember, Lisa and others.
As soon as Wendy finished speaking, the office fell into silence for a long time.
"It's him!" Kaia spread his hands, as if to say it was as expected.
"You're really good at making trouble for us." The corners of Diluk's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything else.
"That big tree..." Qin asked with a glimmer of hope when she heard that it was Yu Jin who took Lisa and the others away.
"They are the ones who did it. Just ask them when they come back." Wendy turned her head to look out the window. The huge golden tree shining with golden light was so conspicuous.
Wendy rubbed his eyes and was now wondering how he would fall asleep at night.
……
"Yu Jin, why didn't you tell me that the golden tree would be this big?" Lisa asked calmly, looking at the branches that were as big as the earth under her feet and the leaves above her head that were so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.
"You didn't ask?" Yi Yan didn't have any consciousness. He put on his arm armor again as if nothing happened.
Lisa's calm face suddenly became tense. Her distorted face looked particularly terrifying under the blessing of the dark purple lightning element.
"Hey, hey, hey! Lisa, what do you want to do?"
"What am I doing? We're in big trouble! Don't run!"
"You'd be a fool not to run!"
Chapter 207 Heading underground!

The top of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain is very different from before. If someone can climb up, they will find that most of the land on the top of the snow mountain has been occupied by the trunk of the golden tree.
Perhaps due to lack of space, many of the golden tree's huge roots have even risen from under the ground and are exposed outside.
"Come here, Lisa! Come over here." A faint voice was heard from above the big tree.
On a thick branch of the golden tree, Lisa was looking at the embers pointing at her waist with a speechless face.
She looked at the purple lightning dancing in her hand, then looked at Yu Jin's armor which had not changed at all, and silently extinguished her own lightning.
Sadly, her lightning struck the ember, but not even a spark flew out. She was clearly venting her anger, but now she was giving the ember a massage.
"Huh? Why is there no electricity?" Yu Jin pointed at his waist for a long time, but found that the familiar numbness did not come.
He turned his head and saw Lisa, who was folding her arms with a serious look on her face, and the others who were looking at him in amazement.
"Let's think about how to explain the issue of the golden tree to Captain Jean!" Lisa couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing what Yu Jin said.
Such a big tree suddenly grew in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. She could already imagine the chaos in Mondstadt.
"Explain? What to explain? Such a big tree, don't you think it's spectacular?" Yu Jin said, drawing a circle with his hands.
To be honest, he didn't expect that his blood could make the golden tree grow wildly as if it had been injected with hormones.
But it’s okay if it’s a little bigger, at least you don’t need to carry an umbrella when it rains on Longji Snow Mountain.
"Yes, yes! Lisa, look at the spectacular sight here. There will definitely be a lot of people coming here to enjoy it."
"When the time comes, sell some delicious food downstairs, and Mora will come in large quantities!" Paimon also flew over and said excitedly.
Perhaps it was because he saw such a magnificent creature as the golden tree, or perhaps it was because he was proud of himself for coming up with such a brilliant idea, but there was an irrepressible excitement on Paimon's face.
"Paimon, I think it's good for you to stay here alone. You go make money and I go travel, okay?" Ying looked at Paimon flying up and down and wanted to play with her.
"No! We are best friends and can't be separated!" As expected, Paimon immediately flew back from a distance and started arguing with Ying.
But soon their topic slipped from the meaning of travel to which snacks would be best to sell next.
"Oh! Forget it, forget it. The snow mountain is a bad place anyway. It won't get any worse no matter how much we mess around." Lisa looked at Ying, Paimon and Jinx with their heartless looks, and said helplessly, covering her forehead.
Anyway, the golden tree has grown now, and the matter is done. No matter what the impact is, Mondstadt can only accept it.
Lisa looked around and saw golden color everywhere. The golden branches under her feet seemed like the real earth.
If it weren't for the white clouds looming around her, Lisa might have really forgotten that she was high in the sky.
