Chapter 137 Dragon Travels the World (6)
Yingying thought for a moment before saying, "[Host is so perceptive?]"
Dong Xiaoli glared at Yingying helplessly: "Yingying, I spent my blessing points, and you're still not happy?"
“Although there are many secrets between us, and you can’t tell me the truth, I can sense that you have no ill intentions.” Dong Xiaoli smiled slightly and nodded to Yingying, “Besides, you also said that you wouldn’t harm me.”
"Yingying, I'm willing to believe you." Dong Xiaoli looked down at the fish in the Dragon Transformation Pool below, who had exhausted all their strength but could no longer leap over the Dragon Gate, and sighed softly.
Looking at the struggling figure in the Dragon Transformation Pool, Dong Xiaoli said, "Yingying, I know that without you, I might not have succeeded in transforming into a dragon."
"Look at them, so what if the companion turtles didn't leave?" Dong Xiaoli said with deep emotion, "Only a handful of them can reach the Dragon Transformation Pool."
"Even when they were still children, they came to the Dragon Transformation Pool. Given their fish-like nature with only three seconds of memory and their tortoise-like speed, reaching the Dragon Transformation Pool and leaping over the Dragon Gate was already their lifelong pursuit."
"Too much time has been wasted along the way, and there have been too many hardships. Only a few have made it safely. And of those few who have arrived, they are all very old." Although Dong Xiaoli has no memories of her time as Li Xiaoyu, it is not hard for her to guess the hardships she has endured.
What is the concept of a three-second memory?
If you blink three times, you'll forget everything.
If a human only had a three-second memory, even if you had the most powerful brain, you would still be an idiot.
To use a more vivid analogy, if you had the most powerful brain and used it to write an article, even if you typed at lightning speed, how many words could you type in three seconds? Three words would be a lot, right?
Okay, I'll assume you're exceptionally talented and can type 100 words.
After you've typed a hundred words, your mind is completely blank.
You can't continue writing because your train of thought has broken down.
You need to go back and review the 100 words you typed earlier.
I'll assume it took you less than three seconds to read the previous content, and you still have 90 words left to type.
Then repeat the previous steps.
When the word count accumulates to a certain level, and you can't finish reading it in 3 seconds, then even if you have the most eloquent article or the most groundbreaking ideas, you won't be able to tell the world.
In the eyes of the world, you are just an empty-headed fool.
Dong Xiaoli smiled and shook her head helplessly: "Even I, a young fish, went through many hardships before successfully leaping over the dragon gate. You can imagine how difficult this path is for them."
"Because of your urging, I arrived at the Dragon Transformation Pool ahead of schedule. And because of you, I was finally able to unleash my power. Yingying, to be honest, thank you for not giving up," Dong Xiaoli said sincerely.
Dong Xiaoli smiled with some relief and said, "Moreover, in the current situation, intelligence is indeed Dong Xiaoli's weakness. Although I haven't accepted the plot yet, since there is a story of a carp transforming into a dragon, then even if it is not a world of gods and ghosts, it is still an ancient world full of strange and supernatural forces."
"If I don't add intelligence, I'm afraid I'll have a hard time!" Dong Xiaoli winked mischievously and said, "After all, given how terrible the matchmaking system is, I believe the plot won't be set in the Heavenly Realm or the Dragon Palace."
After figuring it out, Dong Xiaoli felt an unprecedented sense of relief: "Although I don't know why I was so lucky to encounter the matchmaker system when I was on the verge of life and death, or why I experienced so many strange things to save other people's love, I just won't think about it if I can't figure it out!"
"Things will work themselves out." Dong Xiaoli took a deep breath, raised her head and said, "All I know is that blessing points can revive me and allow me to go back in time. I can gain blessing points by completing tasks."
Dong Xiaoli smiled and continued, "I must work hard to complete the task, and during the task, I need to use blessing points to help me complete it better, so..."
"I can't be stingy with these efforts, can I? Staying true to my original aspirations and forging ahead, I believe I will eventually know everything."
After adding the points, Dong Xiaoli stopped looking at the fish in the Dragon Transformation Pool.
Failure is inevitable and irreversible. Instead of just watching from the sidelines, I should do what I'm supposed to do.
It wasn't that Dong Xiaoli was heartless, but rather that outsiders simply couldn't interfere with the kind of thing that happened when a fish leaped over the dragon gate and defied fate.
"Li Xiaoyu." Just as Dong Xiaoli turned around to fly away, a deep and hoarse male voice came from the Dragon Transformation Pool.
"Hmm?" Dong Xiaoli looked down curiously at the Dragon Transformation Pool at her feet. Suddenly, the turtle accompanying the red and white carp transformed into a man, who looked up at Dong Xiaoli in mid-air.
"Li Xiaoyu, since Wu Yi..."
The man, probably worried that Li Xiaoyu didn't know who Wu Yi was, changed his approach: "I meant your companion turtle has left you, I can..."
The man hesitated for a moment, then said with a determined look, "Can I be your companion turtle?"
"Have you given up on her?" Dong Xiaoli asked calmly, watching the red and white carp struggling to wag its tail and keep swimming forward to avoid being swept away by the current.
The man looked at the red and white carp struggling desperately in the distance, its strength failing, and smiled bitterly: "She was destined to fail, wasn't she? I was just trying to find my own path to immortality..."
"But...I don't want to..."
Before Dong Xiaoli could finish speaking, the man said with a wry smile, "Do you know how companion turtles come about?"
The man sighed softly: "The companion turtle is also called the companion divine turtle. It is born with the ability to transform into human form. It has the name of a divine turtle, but not the reality. If it chooses a fish to accompany it, the fish will transform into a dragon, and the name of the divine turtle will become real, thus allowing it to be listed among the immortals."
Without the warning of its companion turtle, and exhausted, the red and white carp eventually drifted away with the current.
"Isn't this companion turtle a rather magical spirit, born with the ability to transform?" The man watched the red and white carp drift with the current, his eyes filled with a sense of vicissitude as he looked at Dong Xiaoli and said, "Don't you think they are born with exceptional talent and are blessed by heaven? But in the end, they are nothing more than..."
The man lowered his eyes, watched the other companion tortoise leave helplessly, and sighed: "It's just Heaven's compensation and another high-stakes gamble."
"And I... now I just want to fight for another chance to ascend to immortality. After all, the chance to transform into a dragon without a companion tortoise is only once in ten thousand years."
Having already added her points, Dong Xiaoli, upon hearing the man's words, sensed something and frowned, saying, "Compensation and a high-stakes gamble? You mean... the companion turtle is a carp that failed to transform into a dragon?"
The man seemed surprised that Dong Xiaoli could guess, then nodded and said, "That's right. Generally speaking, carp that can reach the Dragon Transformation Pool are already very old. Leaping over the Dragon Gate is their all-out effort."
