Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 1674: 706: Million Sacrifice, Time Travel

Chapter 1674: Chapter 706: Million Sacrifice, Time Travel

The bishop trembled with excitement when he saw the Time-Space Creature.

At the thought of returning to the past with his memories to save all humanity and reach the pinnacle of life, he almost wanted to pinch himself, afraid that this was just a dream.

Taking a deep breath to calm his excitement somewhat, the bishop then had a believer he had just brought with him voluntarily sacrifice himself.

The sacrifice was simple; wherever the believer was, he just needed to silently recite his willingness to sacrifice for Time Travel and name the initiator.

This believer was a fervent fan of the bishop, and upon receiving the bishop’s command, he had no hesitation and immediately recited his willingness to sacrifice for Time Travel in his heart, acknowledging the bishop as the initiator.

Unlike the sacrifices Wang Tao had seen before, this time there was no bloody scene; the believer’s body gradually became transparent and then disappeared without leaving a trace, as if he had never been there.

Wang Tao felt uncomfortable with live sacrifices; one reason was they were bloody, another was they went against Wang Tao’s principles, making him unable to accept them.

But now, things were different. There was no bloodshed, and this sacrifice was for Time Travel, to return to the past. Since they all went back, it was as if the person who volunteered didn’t die!

Thus, upon seeing the believer’s body gradually disappear, Wang Tao felt little disturbance in his heart and had no sense of guilt.

At this moment, having initiated a voluntary sacrifice, Time-Space Creature started the activation phase of Time Travel, and both Wang Tao and the bishop saw some data, though the data left them dumbfounded.

“What the hell? Starting Time Travel requires the sacrifice of two million people? And it needs to be completed within three days? If it exceeds three days, the Time-Space Creature will leave! We will never be able to use Time Travel again!”

Wang Tao had thought before that the current situation might be different from what the bishop remembered, possibly requiring more sacrifices, but he didn’t expect it would require this many! Doubling the number, really?

It requires exactly two million people, and they must be willing to sacrifice themselves!

Where can we find so many people?

“All my believers add up to just one million… Are we unable to start Time Travel?” The bishop looked somewhat confused, but soon, as though he thought of something, he quickly looked at Wang Tao, “No wait, doesn’t your base also have a lot of people? Can you involve them?”

Wang Tao shook his head.

“Our base has nearly one million population, but it’s impossible to have them all voluntarily sacrifice. Human nature, you should understand. After all, we only have three days, I can’t give them proper ideological work within these three days…”

Wang Tao sighed, having finally got this chance, and still, it might not work…

“Why don’t you try? What if it works? Anyway, there’s no other way, if it doesn’t work this time, we’re all bound to die early or late… I’ll first go back and have them start sacrificing!”

The bishop gritted his teeth and watched Wang Tao.

“Okay.”

Wang Tao nodded, then he first sent the bishop back to the headquarters of the Dusk Church, and he returned to the temporary Changhe Base, informing Gu Yun and the others of the current situation.

“Not enough people for sacrifice? Needs two million…”

Everyone was dumbfounded, clearly, they didn’t expect the number needed to sacrifice would be this large!

However, before Wang Tao left, Gu Yun and the others were unwilling to let Wang Tao be busy for nothing, so they started organizing people to see how many were willing to sacrifice.

After all, Time Travel is possible, sacrifice doesn’t mean death. Moreover, their living environment is so harsh now, the base is gone, and they can only take refuge here… In this situation, there should be people willing to voluntarily sacrifice.

At the same time, the preliminary survey results from City Hall had come out, and those surveyed said they were willing to sacrifice themselves to save all humanity. But with this matter, don’t just see what they say, see what they do. Only those who truly voluntarily in their hearts can be sacrificed. If there’s a discrepancy between what’s in their mouth and their heart, even a trace of unwillingness, it’s impossible to sacrifice.

So Wang Tao asked Gu Yun to find 100 people from those surveyed for a simple sacrifice test.

The Domain area of the Time-Space Creature could at least cover the whole Earth, so no matter where in the world, sacrifice could be performed anytime.

Soon, these 100 volunteers were chosen.

They all showed an expression of facing death calmly, took a deep breath, and silently recited “Willing to sacrifice for Time Travel”.

Moments later, only 28 people’s bodies gradually became transparent and disappeared, while the other 72 were still intact.

These 72 people were first a little puzzled, then awkward after realizing they hadn’t successfully sacrificed, clearly indicating a lack of sincerity.

Actually, if it requires them to sacrifice to save the others, rationally they were willing. But this “willingness” isn’t true wholehearted voluntary sacrificing; it’s more that they’re willing to take the bigger picture into account and could compromise themselves for it.

After all, their lives were given by Changhe Base, sacrificing for Changhe Base is fair, but they still have a hint of unwillingness in their hearts, after all, who wishes to die when they can live? Time Travel and such, whether true or false, whether it can succeed is still uncertain…

As long as there’s a trace of unwillingness in their hearts, the sacrifice won’t succeed. They must fully agree for it to work.
