Chapter 1659: Chapter 699: A Large Number of Destruction-level Monsters Appear

Wang Tao currently cannot verify the truth of the Bishop’s words, but Wang Tao’s spiritual power is akin to a lie detector, and he can perceive that the Bishop is not lying about wanting to save all of humanity. His belief is extraordinarily firm, as if as long as he acts, he genuinely can save humanity.

Wang Tao doesn’t know why he’s so confident; perhaps he’s had a fortuitous encounter like himself, possessing some sort of external aid not to be shared with outsiders?

Even if everything the Bishop says is true, and he indeed has the ability to save all humanity, the cost being the direct sacrifice of one million people… is just too insane!

To be fair, if this choice were presented to Wang Tao, he wouldn’t be sure if he could make the call, considering it’s the lives of a million people! Even if this really could save all of humanity, Wang Tao isn’t a robot; he might not be able to remain absolutely rational…

“You’re a madman…”

Wang Tao looked at the Bishop with a somewhat complicated expression.

“Hey, I’m not a madman; I’m a Savior–of course, not yet, but I will eventually become the Savior!”

The Bishop grinned.

“Are you sure you can control your million believers to voluntarily sacrifice themselves?”

Wang Tao was somewhat skeptical. After all, these million people aren’t together, and the Bishop mentioned that those believers are hiding all over the country. To control a million people to voluntarily sacrifice themselves, not only would you need their willing consent, but also a way to notify them. With communications cut off, contacting these people wouldn’t be easy, would it? Unless the Bishop has some special method unknown to him!

Moreover, speaking of sacrifice, Wang Tao thought of the Summoning Altar. Could the Bishop be sacrificing a large number of lives to summon something? But on second thought, this is different from the Summoning Altar, as the altar doesn’t require voluntary sacrifices, and even zombies can serve as offerings, which is clearly different from what the Bishop described… It’s just baffling, simply bewildering.

After hearing Wang Tao’s words, the Bishop immediately assured:

“Of course I can! The specifics are quite complex, but just consider it one of my talent abilities.”

After pausing for a moment, the Bishop looked at Wang Tao and said:

“So, will you assist me to save all of humanity? We actually have no conflict of interest, and our goals are even the same, so why not cooperate? Win-win cooperation!”

Wang Tao didn’t answer immediately, instead lowering his eyes, pondering something unknown.

Seeing him like this, the Bishop couldn’t help but become anxious again.

If this Wang Tao really remains unmoved, distrusting him, and insists on probing his mental memories, he would be doomed!

Therefore, the Bishop quickly added:

“Just tell me, under what circumstances can we cooperate? As I’ve said, we don’t have much time left; even now, destruction-level whale monsters are starting to come ashore; who knows if there are other monsters? By the time there are monsters everywhere in the world, it might already be too late!”

Wang Tao then looked up at him:

“I have one last question. You mentioned using a ‘power that can destroy everything’ to save all of humanity; how exactly will that save humanity?”

Saving and saving are not the same. Is it enhancing the abilities of all surviving humans, weakening the strength of all non-human faction creatures, or even causing them to die instantly? The method is different, and naturally, so is the result.

The best-case scenario would be for all zombie monsters to suddenly drop dead, leaving Earth to humanity. But that seems somewhat unrealistic…

And the Bishop’s answer made Wang Tao’s vision go black.

“I don’t know–don’t look at me like that, I’m not lying to you, I really don’t know. Anyway, all I know is, as long as I do it, humanity will be saved, that’s it!”

The Bishop looked at Wang Tao helplessly, in reality, he would like to know too. However, the “future memories” he accidentally obtained previously didn’t provide a detailed explanation.

Back then, just like Wang Tao, he didn’t believe these things at all, thinking it was just a dream. Until many things from the “future memories” began to come true bit by bit, he realized he possessed a memory that can predict the future!

Because of this memory, he was able to start laying plans in the days leading up to the apocalypse and assembled the Dusk Church post-apocalypse, ultimately creating a superpower with a million believers in the apocalyptic world!

Unfortunately, this memory is incomplete, and he doesn’t know many things, and some situations are also inaccurate. Rather than calling it “future memory,” it’s more apt to call it a “projection of the future.”

Anyway, since many things before have come true, the events that follow should be more or less the same. He firmly believes he is the Savior, the protagonist of this world! As long as he follows the path outlined in the memory, he will definitely save all of humanity!

Swish–

Wang Tao suddenly withdrew his Domain’s suppression ability.

The Bishop, caught off guard, stumbled and took a fall. However, he wasn’t angry but rather delighted.

“Have you agreed to cooperate?”

What the Bishop was proposing in cooperation was actually quite simple: to have Wang Tao seek out the “power that can destroy everything,” and once found, notify the Bishop so he could go over and commence the sacrifice. Wang Tao can fly, he’s very powerful, and it’s easier for him to move around. If the Bishop did it himself, he might instantly meet his demise if he encountered a destruction monster. Thus, after learning of my strength, the Bishop found me very suitable.

Of course, if he had to choose between a “flying but ascended to Seventh Level Wang Tao” and a “non-flying but not ascended to Seventh Level Wang Tao,” he would definitely choose the latter because the stronger Wang Tao and the Changhe Base’s overall strength are, the greater his difficulty…
