Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 707: One Million Sacrifices, Time Travels Back
When the bishop saw the space-time creature, he trembled with excitement.

When he thought about returning to the past with his memories, saving all mankind, and reaching the peak of his life, he wanted to pinch himself, fearing that he was dreaming.

After taking a deep breath and calming down his excitement, the bishop asked a believer he had just brought to sacrifice himself.

The sacrifice is also very simple. No matter where the believer is, he only needs to silently pray in his heart that he is willing to sacrifice time back and say the name of the initiator.

This believer was a fanatical fan of the bishop. After receiving the bishop's order, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately prayed in his heart that he would voluntarily sacrifice himself to turn back time and acknowledged that the bishop was the initiator.

Unlike the sacrifices Wang Tao had seen before, this time there were no bloody scenes. The body of the believer slowly became transparent and then disappeared, leaving nothing behind, as if he had never been there.

Wang Tao is very disgusted with human sacrifice. Firstly, it is quite bloody, and secondly, it goes against Wang Tao's values, which makes him unacceptable.

But now it's different, there is no blood involved, and this sacrifice is to go back in time, back to the past. Since we have gone back to the past, it means that the people who volunteered to sacrifice did not die!

So after seeing the believer's body gradually disappear, Wang Tao did not feel much fluctuation in his heart, nor did he feel any guilt.

At this time, the space-time creatures made an active sacrifice, and [Time Reversal] finally entered the activation stage. Wang Tao and the bishop both saw some data, but these data made both of them dumbfounded.

"What the hell? Activating the time travel requires the sacrifice of two million people? And they have to be gathered within three days? If it takes more than three days, the time creatures will leave! We will never be able to use [Time Travel] again!"

Wang Tao had thought before that the current situation was different from what the bishop remembered, and that more sacrifices might be needed, but Wang Tao had not expected that there would be so many more! Would it be okay to just double it?

It requires a full two million people, and they have to be willing to sacrifice!
Where can you get so many people?
"All my believers add up to only one million people... Is it possible for us to turn back time?" The bishop looked a little confused, but soon, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked at Wang Tao, "No, don't you have quite a few people in your base? Can you let them participate?"

Wang Tao shook his head.

"Our base has a population of nearly one million, but it is impossible to get them all to not volunteer to sacrifice. You should understand human nature very well. After all, we only have three days, and it is impossible for me to do a good job of ideological work for them in these three days..."

Wang Tao sighed. He finally got this opportunity, but it was still not possible...

"Why don't you give it a try? What if it works? There's no other way anyway. If it doesn't work this time, we'll all die sooner or later... I'll go back and ask them to start sacrificing!"

The bishop gritted his teeth and looked at Wang Tao.

"Row."

Wang Tao nodded, then sent the bishop back to the headquarters of the Church of Dusk. He then returned to the temporary Changhe base and told Gu Yun and others about the current situation.

"Not enough people to offer sacrifices? We need two million people..."

Everyone was stunned. Apparently, they had not expected that so many people would need to be sacrificed!
However, when Wang Tao left, Gu Yun and others were unwilling to see Wang Tao's work in vain, so they had already started to arrange manpower to see how many of them were willing to sacrifice.

After all, time can be turned back, and sacrifice does not mean death. Moreover, their living environment is so bad now that their base is gone, so they can only take refuge here... In this case, there should be someone willing to sacrifice themselves.

At this time, the preliminary survey results of the city hall have come out. The people who were sampled said that they were willing to sacrifice themselves to save all mankind. But in this kind of thing, don't look at what they say, but look at what they do. Only those who are truly willing in their hearts can be sacrificed. If their words are inconsistent with their hearts, even if there is a trace of unwillingness, they cannot be sacrificed.

So Wang Tao asked Gu Yun to find 100 people from the sample survey and conduct a simple sacrifice experiment.

The domain of space-time creatures can at least cover the entire earth, so sacrifice can be used at any time no matter where in the world.

Soon, all 100 volunteers were selected.

They all had a fearless expression on their faces. They took a deep breath and silently said in their hearts, "Voluntary sacrifice to turn back time."

After a while, only the bodies of 28 people gradually became transparent and disappeared, while the other 72 people were still fine.

The 72 people were confused at first, and then they came to their senses and started to feel embarrassed. Their failure to offer sacrifices was obviously a sign of insincerity.

In fact, if they need to be sacrificed to save others, they are willing to do so rationally. But this "willingness" does not mean that they are willing to sacrifice themselves sincerely, but that they are willing to consider the overall situation and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the overall situation.

After all, their lives were given by the Changhe Base, and it was fair for them to sacrifice for the Changhe Base, but they were somewhat unwilling in their hearts. After all, who would want to die if they could live? It was hard to say whether time travel was true or false, and whether it could be possible...

If they have even the slightest reluctance in their hearts, the sacrifice will not succeed. They must fully agree.

And many people may think that since so many people are needed, one more or one less won’t make much difference... The more they think so, the less likely they are to be willing.

In addition, some people may not be willing to sacrifice at all and are just pretending...that's why 72 people could not be sacrificed.

"Close to 30 percent, too low..."

Seeing this result, Gu Yun and others shook their heads.

They also know that this is reasonable, but it is still disappointing.

"This is reality, there's nothing we can do about it."

Wang Tao sighed.

If the time is longer, such as three months or even three weeks, the survivors should be able to develop a sense of self-sacrifice, but now there are only three days, which is too short. Expecting to cram at the last minute will not have any effect.

"Anyway, let's gather some people here first. I'll go to the Twilight Church headquarters and think of a solution..."

Wang Tao thought for a while and said.

Now it is basically certain that turning back time is the only chance to save humanity. Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, we must try our best and leave no regrets.

After everyone looked at each other, Gu Yun spoke:
"Okay! We will also try our best to do some ideological work for them! And we will take the lead in offering sacrifices, which should serve as a role model!"

They all believe in Wang Tao unconditionally, and they are willing to sacrifice themselves voluntarily, so they can definitely take the lead. If they can play a leading role, it will be worth it.

"Okay, please."

Wang Tao patted Gu Yun on the shoulder, then flew towards the Dusk Church again.

When he arrived at the Twilight Church, he received another piece of bad news - the believers of the Twilight Church were not 100% obedient to the bishop as he had promised. Only about 60% of them were willing to sacrifice themselves for the bishop. The remaining 40% said they would go through fire and water for the bishop, but in reality they were not willing to sacrifice themselves.

"What the hell!"

The bishop punched the wall in annoyance and made a hole in it.

He always thought that everything was under his control, but he didn't expect the actual situation to be so different!
The situation is very difficult now. Six hundred thousand people from the Church of Dusk have volunteered to sacrifice themselves. The Changhe Base has not started yet, but it is estimated that there are only two or three hundred thousand people at most. The total number is less than one million, and it is still far from two million!
"I'll think of a way to see if I can convince them... Anyway, as long as I can convince them, I'll ask them to sacrifice themselves as soon as possible. Although the hope of success is slim now and only exists in theory, I won't give up!"

The bishop's eyes were wide open and bloodshot.

He had worked so hard for so long and finally saw hope, but now his hope was extinguished again. He really couldn't accept this.

"Ah... I'll go back to Changhe Base and take a look."

Wang Tao patted the bishop on the shoulder and then flew back to the Changhe Base.

When they returned to Changhe Base, Ding Yuqin suddenly told Wang Tao that Han Youlin had sent someone to look for Wang Tao. Wang Tao had previously sold two mutant geese that he had tamed to Hongfeng Base, and this person had come here on a mutant goose.

But it is very dangerous outside now, even in the air is not necessarily safe. He is taking a great risk to come here. Wang Tao is a little curious about what's going on.

However, when it comes to the New Red Maple Base, Wang Tao thinks of their population of nearly one million... But Wang Tao finally shook his head. Even the bishop's followers could not all voluntarily sacrifice, let alone other places.

If there were still many surviving humans, such as tens of millions, then perhaps these two million people could be gathered to sacrifice voluntarily. But now there are less than three million survivors in the entire country of Qian. It is obviously unlikely to get two-thirds of the people to have a spirit of sacrifice. As for other countries, there should be survivors, but after all, they don't speak the same language and have different cultures. It would be even more difficult to get them to believe in Wang Tao...

Just when Wang Tao was daydreaming, the man from the New Red Maple Base was brought in. The first words he said when he saw Wang Tao made Wang Tao stand up suddenly.

"Our commander is willing to help you contribute the number of volunteers for sacrifice, and the number is large."

"Go to the New Red Maple Base."

Without saying a word, Wang Tao took his men and flew directly to the New Red Maple Base to meet Han Youlin.

Seeing Wang Tao, Han Youlin didn't waste any words and said hoarsely:
"I can temporarily control the nearly one million people in our base. During this period of time, I am the only one in their heads. My willingness to sacrifice myself should mean that they are all willing to sacrifice themselves as well..."

Hearing this, Wang Tao was shocked.

He didn't expect that Han Youlin could actually control nearly a million people! And this kind of control is not to force them to do anything, but to directly turn them into himself! Although Han Youlin said that this time is very short, to some extent, it is equivalent to Han Youlin being able to transform into a million people! And in order to help Wang Tao, he is willing to gamble with the lives of nearly a million people!
“…Is it reliable?”

Looking at Han Youlin's stiff expression, Wang Tao's face was complicated. He had a lot to say, but in the end he just asked him if he was reliable or not. This was indeed an opportunity, and Wang Tao was unwilling to give it up.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable."

Han Youlin grinned.

At this time, there is still one day left before the end of the three-day countdown. There are more and more destructive monsters outside, and even the eighth-level lord zombies have come out with their subordinates - Wang Tao saw it with his own eyes when he flew to the headquarters of the Church of Dusk and the New Red Maple Base. There were three eighth-level lord zombies!
A large number of seventh-level destructive monsters appeared, sea beasts came to the land, and eighth-level lord zombies returned with a tide of corpses... The surviving humans really can't hold on!
Wang Tao has no choice now.

"Okay, then please give it a try!"

Wang Tao looked at Han Youlin seriously.

"OK!"

Han Youlin laughed loudly, and the vines stuck in his scalp glowed with a faint green light. The bodies of the survivors of the entire New Red Maple Base suddenly paused, as if they were stuck. A second later, they turned their heads at the same time and looked at the location of Wang Tao and Han Youlin, with a slightly stiff smile on their faces. Then they saw their bodies gradually become transparent and finally disappeared...

"This is a relief for me..."

Han Youlin showed an ugly smile on his face, and then disappeared in front of Wang Tao.

……

The headquarters of the Church of Dusk.

"what's the situation?"

The bishop, who was frantically trying to persuade his believers, suddenly sensed that the number of people offering sacrifices voluntarily was soaring - because some believers acknowledged that he was the initiator, he was able to sense the specific circumstances of the sacrifices in real time.

The number of these voluntary sacrifices, which originally only numbered over 600,000 from the Twilight Church, suddenly increased to nearly 900,000, reaching over 1.5 million!

"Could it be the Changhe Base? That's impossible. I remember that there were less than a million people in the Changhe Base. Could it be that all of them sacrificed themselves voluntarily? That's impossible!"

The bishop shook his head quickly.

……

On the other side, Wang Tao has returned to the temporary Changhe base.

Before he had the chance to find Gu Yun, he suddenly felt that the number of people offering sacrifices had increased dramatically again!
"Four hundred thousand more!"

Wang Tao immediately came to the City Hall, but Gu Yun and other senior officials of the City Hall were not there. Only Ding Yuqin and a few others were there.

"Where are Gu Yun and the others?"

Wang Tao asked. "They led the survivors of our base to offer sacrifices, including the committee members... It is precisely because of their example that our number has increased a lot. We originally expected 300,000 people, but now there are 100,000 more, reaching 400,000!"

Han Rui and the others had very complicated expressions. Although they offered sacrifices to turn back time, if they failed, they would really die. But there were still so many people willing to believe Wang Tao. It would be a lie for them to say they were not moved.

If they didn't want to see Wang Tao again, they would have already offered themselves up as sacrifices.

"Everyone is good!"

Wang Tao sighed a little.

However, looking at the number of sacrifices, he felt a little annoyed again.

The Church of Dusk contributed more than 600,000 people, the New Maple Base sacrificed nearly 900,000 people, and now the Changhe Base has sacrificed more than 400,000 people, so the total is now 1.94 million. Although this number has far exceeded Wang Tao's expectations, it is still not enough! There is still a shortfall of 60,000 people!
There is only half a day left. Can we add another 60,000 people in this half day? It feels impossible! At least it is impossible for the Changhe Base. If there are still people, they would have sacrificed themselves with Gu Yun and would not have waited until now. As for the New Red Maple Base, it goes without saying that they have no one left, so the only hope is the Dusk Church! It depends on the brainwashing ability of the bishop.

"I have to go to the Church of Dusk!"

Wang Tao said to Ding Yuqin and others.

"Wait!" Several women suddenly called out to Wang Tao, "Let us take one last look at you!"

They came to Wang Tao, stretched out their hands, and looked a little reluctant.

Although they are with Wang Tao for various reasons, they all have true feelings. If time really goes back, will they have a chance to meet again? If they can meet, will they still have a chance to become partners? They don't know.

Seeing the girls reluctant to leave, Wang Tao bent down and hugged them tightly.

"I hope we can meet again after time goes back... No, we will definitely meet again!"

As long as I can retain my memories and go back to the past, I will definitely find them.

"Okay, we'll wait for you..."

The bodies of the women became illusory in Wang Tao's arms, and finally disappeared in front of him. Wang Tao suddenly felt empty.

boom--

Although they disappeared, the equipment Wang Tao gave them was left behind.

"Haha, see you in the next life! If there is a next life!"

Wei Zhenguo and others also came over, laughed and punched Wang Tao's arm, then became transparent in front of Wang Tao and finally disappeared.

boom--

Their equipment also fell down.

Wang Tao put away the equipment and said softly:
"I hope we can meet again..."

whoosh-

Wang Tao flew out of the messy Changhe Base like a meteor. Changhe Base lost so many people all of a sudden, especially many leaders. Now it has fallen into chaos, but Wang Tao has no time to care about it.

He flew to the Dusk Church as fast as he could and met the bishop.

"How is it possible! How did you do it!"

When the bishop saw Wang Tao, he was immediately excited.

The sudden increase of nearly 900,000 people before brought the number of sacrifices to 1.5 million, which was enough to shock the bishop. As a result, another 400,000 people were added later, bringing the number of sacrifices directly to more than 1.9 million! The last 60,000 people were missing from success!
The bishop, who had already given up hope, now regained hope.

"Now is not the time to explain. We don't have much time. Whether we can gather the last 60,000 people depends on you!"

Wang Tao said with a serious face.

"I, I'll try!" The bishop suddenly got a little nervous. "By the way, you can try it too. What if you are good at speaking and can convince them?"

"Row."

Wang Tao didn't think he could convince these believers, but there were only a few hours left before the end of the sacrifice. If he didn't do something, even with his strong psychological quality, he would be very anxious.

The bishop called all the remaining believers over, and looking at the huge crowd, he tried to persuade them with his voice. Many people responded to his call, but only a few were able to successfully offer sacrifices. After all, the conditions for the sacrifice were too harsh, and there could not be even a hint of unwillingness in one's mind. If one thought about it for a moment or hesitated for a moment, the sacrifice would not be successful.

Wang Tao looked at the slowly increasing number of sacrifices and sighed silently in his heart. Judging from the speed of the bishop, it seems that it is still not going to work. But Wang Tao did not completely lose hope. What if a miracle happened?

"grown ups?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in Wang Tao's ears.

Wang Tao turned around and found Zhao Yaru. She was the leader of the Zizhu base who was saved by Wang Tao before. Later, they all followed the bishop to come here. Wang Tao also saw her when he first came to the Dusk Church.

"You are here too."

Wang Tao nodded.

"Sir, this bishop has been trying to trick us into willingly sacrificing ourselves, saying things like turning back time and saving all of humanity. What should we do? How about we follow you..."

Zhao Yaru looked at Wang Tao with some trepidation.

"It's not a lie—" Wang Tao's tone suddenly paused, and then he looked at Zhao Yaru with a puzzled look, "Time travel is real, and I can save all mankind, but it requires a certain number of people to sacrifice voluntarily. If you have this opportunity, are you willing to sacrifice for me?"

"Ah? Yes! Not only I am willing, we are all willing! Our lives were given by you, if we can help you, especially if it can save humanity, we will definitely not refuse!"

Zhao Yaru was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately.

Although what Wang Tao said was almost the same as what the bishop told them, he did not believe the bishop, he only believed Wang Tao.

"How many of you are there in total?"

Wang Tao asked immediately.

"There are less than 70,000 people in total."

Zhao Yaru quickly answered.

Hearing this number, Wang Tao suddenly felt his heart beating faster, but he still asked calmly:
"Why are there so many people? I remember there weren't so many people at your Zizhu base..."

"After we arrived at the headquarters of the Church of Dusk, we found that some believers were deceived by the bishop's first generation of holy medicine, but they were lucky enough to survive. They came here just to survive, and they didn't believe in the bishop. So I told them about your deeds of helping us and discovering that the holy medicine was poisonous. After all, you are the orthodox of the Church of Dusk, and the bishop is just a liar who took over the magpie's nest. So they followed me and believed in you instead of the bishop!"

When Zhao Yaru said this, she felt a little proud.

This matter is definitely not as simple as she said, but she had said before that she would help Wang Tao, the real leader of the Twilight Church, to recruit believers. Now that it has grown to 70,000 or 80,000 people, especially under the bishop's nose, she thinks it should not be bad.

"Amazing!"

Wang Tao really didn't expect that Zhao Yaru could actually develop followers for him!

Although Wang Tao had thought before that if he pretended to be a priest of the Twilight Church and a certain number of people believed in him, he would be orthodox. But he didn't expect it to go this far! So Wang Tao hurriedly said:

"Then try to see if you can sacrifice yourself for me. Don't worry, this is really a time travel, you still have a next life!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Yaru immediately went to notify those people. About half an hour later, Wang Tao sensed that the number of sacrifices, which was more than 1.9 million, was suddenly increasing rapidly!
"My Lord, I have already notified them! They have all started their voluntary sacrifices, and I will start too!"

Zhao Yaru looked at Wang Tao with a somewhat fanatical expression, and then gradually became transparent.

"Okay! See you in the next life!"

It was at this moment that Wang Tao's mind moved.

The number of sacrifices of two million people is enough!
"Fuck!"

The bishop in the distance shouted, and he was a little confused.

How come there was a sudden increase of 60,000 people?
Is this enough number of people?!
Especially when the bishop felt that only his 600,000 believers acknowledged that he was the initiator of [Turn Back Time], while the remaining one million or so people acknowledged that the initiator of [Turn Back Time] was Wang Tao!
The bishop was excited but also somewhat distraught.

But soon, the bishop grinned again.

"That's good. He's stronger than me and should be able to bring a better future to mankind... Anyway, the time reversal is about to start, and I can be reborn. Even if I don't have any memories, I won't lose anything..."

As the bishop thought about this, his body began to become transparent.

He himself offered sacrifice on his own initiative, and he admitted that the one who initiated the [Time Reversal] was Wang Tao. Since Wang Tao had succeeded, time would soon flow backwards, and he wanted to feel what it felt like to voluntarily sacrifice.

Wang Tao naturally also sensed the bishop's situation, but he had no time to sigh. He had to hurry to find the space-time creature!

whoosh-

After spending some more time, Wang Tao came to the space-time creature again. He felt that he could activate [Time Reversal] at any time!

But you can't just start it right away out of excitement, because Wang Tao still has to sacrifice all his strength in order to get a chance to retain his memory!

If you are not strong enough, you will not be able to keep your memory. But if you are strong enough, you can keep your memory and even some other things.

Wang Tao didn't know whether he was strong enough or not, so he chose to sacrifice all his strength with a little trepidation.

At the moment of the sacrifice, Wang Tao felt that his strength was rapidly decreasing, and soon he disappeared and turned into an ordinary person. Then his body size also began to shrink, returning to his original height of 1.8 meters.

But this is not the end yet. Wang Tao discovered that the equipment, potions, materials, and other props in his space backpack were disappearing one by one!
"Is this also my strength? It seems reasonable..."

Finally, when Wang Tao's ability to "see the health bar and kill monsters to get treasures" was also sacrificed, the sacrifice was finally over.

At this time, Wang Tao found that there were a lot of options in front of him, including the option of retaining his memory! And he could not only choose to retain his memory, but also choose other things! This immediately made Wang Tao's eyes widen.

After making a difficult choice, Wang Tao took a deep breath and confirmed it silently in his mind.

brush--

At this moment, the whole world seemed to have been paused, and everything was still. Then, it was as if the rewind button was pressed, and everything in the world was moving backwards at a rapid speed.

Back in time.
