how can i paste something on multiple lines?

i’m trying to achieve the same as:
In an existing text, I can <C-v>jjjjj<S-I>HelloWorld<CR>
to have HelloWorld inserted in 5-rows

but instead of typing HelloWorld I’d like to get the text from a register.
i want to first yank HelloWorld then insert it in 5 lines.

    When you are in insert mode, you can press Ctrl-R followed by the letter for the buffer you wish to paste. Then just press Escape as usual and it will be block inserted as normal.
