It has to be said that Fitch was very lucky. Kino used telekinesis to overturn the rock formations in pieces and found only animal fossils. She just dug a few times with her hands and dug out the key clues.

After finding the collapsible warhead, Kino planned to strike while the iron was hot and continue digging. Unexpectedly, Fitch suddenly hugged his knees and rolled in front of him like a ball. His cheeks were bulging and he stared at him with wide eyes.

Kino was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Gulu~" Fitch's belly said.

"Oh..." Chino exchanged some respect points for a truckload of top-quality wagyu beef, and to cater for Fitch's taste, it was all raw and stacked directly in front of her.

This made Feiqi so happy that she jumped directly into the mountain of meat and started to wolf down it. Gluttony's powerful digestive ability was fully demonstrated at this time. She ate hundreds of kilograms of meat in a short period of time, but her belly did not bulge at all. The meat was like

It's like entering a bottomless pit.

When Fitch was eating meat crazily, Kino avoided her sight and opened a separate space to enter the interior.

"Master, welcome home." Zero's voice echoed in the room. The home robot moved over and held up a cup of sugar mixed with coffee. QwQ's cute smiling face appeared on the screen.

"Thank you." Chino drank the coffee and sugar in one gulp, put the cup back into the hands of the home robot, then walked into the chemistry laboratory, put a paleontological fossil into the analysis chamber, and said, "No. 0, use absolute dating method

Analyze the age of this fossil.”

Absolute dating is one of the methods used in archaeology to determine the age of fossils.

In the sedimentary rocks that form fossils, there are often certain elements that contain unstable isotopes. When they undergo natural radioactive decay, atoms will regularly decompose into other elements. As long as they are calculated through the corresponding "half-life", you can

Determine the age of the fossil.

No. 0: "Command received, receive sample, start scanning."

The robotic arm puts the fossil sample into the detection chamber, opens the fully enclosed seal, injects a large amount of inert gas, and exhausts the oxygen in the chamber.

No. 0: "Detecting the decay amount of radioactive elements..."

As the detection instrument operates, the scanning beam begins to cover the main body of the fossil, continuously checking back and forth, and transmits the detected data back to the central chip for calculation and comparison in the database.

After the analysis, No. 0 gave the answer: "Based on the calculation of the decay amount of radioactive elements, the age of this fossil is 4001728191 years ago."

4 billion years! This is an astonishing astronomical number!

You must know that the planet in the previous life is only 4.6 billion years old, and organisms with preliminary cellular structures were discovered 3.5 billion years ago. Even if we trace back to the most primitive life, it is at most 3.8 billion years ago.

But this fossil unearthed in Gluttony World is already a mammal with a mature biological structure. It actually lived 4 billion years ago?!

This means that the world of Gluttony has a longer history than the previous planet.

And you should know that this fossil is from the same era as the previous generation of "Gluttony" refusers.

In other words, the battle between the reincarnators and the previous generation of "Gluttony" took place 4 billion years ago!

From the death of the previous generation "Gluttony" to the arrival of the new generation "Gluttony" Fitch, there was an interval of 4 billion years!

Kino clearly remembered that from his last conversation with "Gluttony" to meeting Fitch, his timeline had only advanced a few months.

Although Kino has long known that time in the reincarnation world is disordered, for example, there is a 1:30 time difference between the "Pride" world and the previous life, but the comparison of several months between the "Pride" world and the "Gluttony" world is 40

Hundreds of millions of years, an astronomical time gap, still makes Kino find it incredible.

This is a power that is difficult to imagine with human thinking.

As long as the Supreme Being is willing, it is possible to make the time in one world pass for only one second and the time in another world to span hundreds of millions of years.

Maybe people in this world just blinked, and the times in that world have changed like fireworks.

The existence of this power is terrible in itself, and what is even more terrible is that it completely denies the meaning of existence of all life.

When time becomes a toy that can be kneaded in your hands, do the stories of generations still have meaning?

Those magnificent epics, epic histories, the rise and fall of countless people, changes in dynasties, changes in eras... it seems there is no need to exist anymore.

In the observation of higher dimensions, all past events are just a snap of the fingers, and time has completely lost its meaning.

Just like today's gluttonous world, what kind of ups and downs has the 4 billion-year journey been like? From simple inorganic precursors to complex organic compounds, the gene chain is constantly restless. How many lives have become extinct, and how many lives are like flowers?

bloom...

All this vast history is like a video tape that has been accelerated infinitely. In the end, it only becomes a cold number like "4001728191", which becomes "months" in Chino's perception, and even "a few seconds" in the eyes of others.

”.

What a cruel truth.

Kino is not a romantic poet, nor is he a scientist who pursues the truth. This cruel truth is not sad to him, but he must admit that his curiosity is completely aroused.

What exactly is the Supreme Being?

What is the ultimate meaning of the entire world of reincarnation?

There may not be answers to these questions now, but as long as we continue to live and continue to live as "arrogant", the day when we get the answers will not be far away...

...

Time passed quickly, and the countdown to Kino's "jump" in the world of gluttony quietly came to the last day, and it was time to say goodbye to Fitch.

The place where we said goodbye was a cliff full of flowers. The fragrance of the flowers was fragrant but not cloying, elegant and quiet, and the smell was quite comfortable. The sunlight fell on the flowers and leaves, covering them with a layer of pale golden brilliance, and the breeze was gentle.

Stroking across it, large swaths of silhouettes on the ground swayed.

"Are you leaving?" Fitch squatted on the ground with his little face in his hands, looking at Kino's back with a smile.

Kino told her about leaving a few days ago, so she was not surprised by today's farewell.

The wind blew by, and a petal as white as snow fell suddenly, separated from the brilliant purple and red, like a traveler who had lost his way but had no way to return. Kino stretched out his hand to take the petal with his palm, and said in a voice as deep as the sea: "Do you have any thoughts?

Have you ever lived like a god?"

"No." Fitch shook his head.

Kino: "Why?"

"Because you are a god." Feiqi jumped up, his silhouette swaying in the sea of ​​colorful flowers, like a charming elf that was constantly jumping.

Kino couldn't help but smile, let go of his hand, let the flowers in his hand tremble in the wind, and said: "Try to live until the day you see me again."
