At Luo Family Village, a team of researchers had already arrived before the hundred-meter-tall Old Willow Tree.
Leading them was Hua Country's most renowned biologist, Lin Jing'an.
Though he was over fifty, his face was glowing with excitement as he gazed at the astonishing willow tree, his eyes filled with fascination.
"The heat is truly astonishing. It's practically like standing beside a steel furnace."
Lin Jing'an wore a shocked expression as he stared at the willow's bark, patterned with golden-red veins. On Blue Star, no ordinary plant had ever been capable of changing the temperature of its surroundings.

Beside Lin Jing'an, a man in a black uniform who looked extremely capable spoke up.
His name was Huo Jia. He came from the Special Security Bureau for Supernatural Affairs established by Hua Country, commonly known as the Special Security Bureau.
This department had not been established recently. It had been founded several years ago, shortly after Penglai Immortal Island emerged and Sakura Country stirred up the incident involving sea monsters coming ashore.
However, since its establishment, the Special Security Bureau had achieved little.
The sea monsters had now virtually vanished without a trace, and Penglai Immortal Island had stopped unleashing tsunamis and upheavals.
It was not until the White Sun had caused a world-shaking disturbance a few days ago, triggering astonishing mutations in plants in many places around the world, that the Special Security Bureau had been urgently mobilized.
"It's hard to say. We'll have to wait for the results of the investigation."
Lin Jing'an shook his head without giving an answer. Instead, he asked, "I heard that similar plant mutations have occurred in many places abroad. Is that true?"
Huo Jia nodded. "That's
