"From today onward, you are my guardians, gardeners. The gates of the Golden Apple Garden will forever be open to you, allowing you to thrive and grow in all the apple orchards."
A dazzling golden light burst forth from Stelina, and a giant phantom of an apple tree appeared behind her, with lush apple groves in the background.
This was her Golden Apple Garden, continuously supplying her with power.
The golden light seemed almost tangible as it gently rained down.
The treetops of the Songlan Treants below swayed continuously, appearing to rejoice, hungrily absorbing this golden light.
Shush shush shush...
A sound akin to silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves echoed as the Cyan-Tree Human Saplings began growing at a pace visible to the naked eye.
With the substantial absorption of power from the Golden Apple Garden, guided by Stelina, visible changes occurred in these Cyan-Tree Human Saplings.
They began to resemble apple trees.
