My Journey to Godhood as a Caterpillar

Chapter 123: Brushing shoulders with death

The breath that contained death and decay was very slow in the eyes of those who saw it coming towards Yun Jhin and Bai Yun, but only the two of them knew that no matter how slow it was, it was supposed to hit them both head-on!

Their bodies were too heavy to move due to the suppressive might that the skeleton put on them, even though the skeleton turned into ashes, the suppressive might was still there and holding on strong!

Blood started to drip from Yun Jhin's eyes as he gritted his teeth and tried to get up and dodge, the ki armor on his body was slowly cracking along with the remaining good bones in his body.

Bai Yun looked at Yun Jhin's actions from the corner of her eyes, she knew that things would end up bad for the both of them if the attack hit them, she knew there were almost no ways for them to escape, the difference in cultivation was too big even though the moment the Empress died her cultivation regressed to the 1st stage of the God Realm.

Bai Yun eyes started to drip blood as well as she thought:

"I didn't reincarnate to die here, at the hands of the same person no less! If I work with him... maybe..."

She sent Yun Jhin a telepathic message:

"The death breath is almost on us, use all of your strength to get near me, if we share our Yin and Yang energies we should be able to break through this weakening suppressive might and dodge the attack!"

Yun Jhin was a paranoid person who didn't trust others easily and he always had back-up plans for those he trusted, but in this situation, there was nothing he could do besides trust Bai Yun!

He frowned as he couldn't control the situation, he hated this type of occurs, rare they were, but in this life, they happened a bit too many times for his taste.

Yun Jhin's body cracked as he slowly moved, step by step towards Bai Yun, his hand was slowly reaching for hers as flowing Yang energy was being exhausted by his right arm.

Bai Yun's body started to crack as well as she started to move closer to Yun Jhin, they were both Emperors and they shouldn't be able to move under the suppressive might, but it was slowly dissipating, however, the death breath was almost touching them as well!

"Closer, closer almost there!"

"Just one more centimeter!"

Yun Jhin's and Bai Yun's hands finally interlocked as a fiendish aura engulfed the both of them as they exchanged their Ying and Yang energies, their cracked bones slowly started to heal as they used each other strengths to throw themselves out of the way of the death breath.

Yun Jhin finally heaved a sigh and so did Bai Yun, until the death breath slowly moved and hit both of them by the corners of their bodies!

Yun Jhin's right arm got hit as it started to dissipate fortunately the breath didn't hit his whole body or he would have been ashes right now.

Bai Yun lost her left leg but they both survived, Yun Jhin now was practically armless as one of them was slowly healing and one of them disappeared, the death energy also infested the wound and it wouldn't heal normally anymore, he needed to break through to the sage realm first for that to happen.

Yun Jhin coughed a few times as the death energy entered the earth and lava started to spurt out of the ground like a volcano!

Yun Jhin dodged the lava and Bai Yun jumped on one leg to avoid the eruption.

The death breath moved way faster in the earth and it reached the core of the planet quite quickly creating an eruption of lava.

Yun Jhin watched the battlefield, everything was slowly finishing, the females were giving up, their Empress was dead and their prince was the same, things were settling down slowly.

Yun Jhin approached Bai Yun and sent her a voice transmission:

"Your Yin energy is very strong, do you want to share it a little bit more?"

Yun Jhin could feel that the fusion of their Yin and Yang energy could help his left arm to recover fully, his right arm was gone for now and he still needed one arm to regain up to 85% of his battle power.

Bai Yun is a former male who didn't know what to say in this situation, but considering they could remove some of the death energy from their wounds this way to help them recover faster when they broke through the sage realm she decided to go along with it later.

Yun Jhin helped her up as they looked around the battlefield, Ghin came limping towards them, his right leg was injured but he had a big smile on his face as he bowed to both of them:

"We have won!"

Yun Jhin nodded, it seemed that they have won, he gave out a small smile towards him as the sage realm experts gathered with the captured female sages and asked:

"What should we do with them?"

Yun Jhin looked over the females and said shortly:

"Do the same thing they did to us, enslave them, but don't do the same thing to the weaker females, after all, we are advocating equality."

The males nodded to each other, they wanted to show the females that they were better than them, but if the upper-echelons walked scot-free away from this would make them look weak. So they enslaved the females at the sage realm and let everyone else below free.

Yun Jhin walked around the battlefield as countless corpses started to disappear, even though the Empress used to self-destruct the females, the ones who broke through the mind control and were too late to escape still died, there were also quite a lot of male corpses here and there.

Their disappearance puzzled the survivors but they decided against commenting, they were all too weak and exhausted to do anything about it anyways.

Yun Jhin's eyes were concentrated on the system page that appeared in front of him:

"25,000,26,000..... 30,000.....45,000...."

Only 45,000 Yun Jhin sighed, it couldn't be helped, there was too much self-destruction and after the females surrendered the casualties dropped by quite a lot.

Yun Jhin still needed 55,000 corpses to absorb and he knew where to go, he just needed to wait for the others to start celebrating and he could move to a random city and unleash a massacre on both the females and males, the strongest people were the peak sages and he could easily avoid them if he played smart.

Yun Jhin walked into the capital along with Bai Yun and a few other sage realm experts that weren't currently concentrating on enslaving the female sages.

Yun Jhin's voice moved through the whole capital:

"The revolution has ended, the males had won and now we will create an equal Empire where talent and opportunities will be shared with everyone regardless of gender!"

The males cheered while the females kept quiet, they knew they lost this war and they couldn't do anything anymore, any revolution from them will be quickly stomped out and they would all be killed, they heard and saw what happened, both at the capital and the nearby cities.

Bai Yun looked at Yun Jhin through the corner of her eyes as she asked:

"Now that everything is done you want to exchange Ying-Yang now?"

Yun Jhin nodded, they both found a private area and exchanged their Ying and Yang with each other, Yun Jhin's left arm finally healed as he flexed it while the death aura that was inhabiting his right side of the body was a little bit tamer compared to before.

Bai Yun had a wondering expression on her face as they both left the building behind.

Yun Jhin waved at Bai Yun indicating that he would leave, Bai Yun had her own devices she had to get to so she waved back and left as well, there were no reasons for them to continue interacting anymore so they went on their way.

Yun Jhin met with the peak sage realm experts and saw how they enslaved all of the female sages and nodded, he looked over the whole army that finally rested enough and took over the capital as he transmitted to them:

"This day should be known as the Male Revolutionary day and it shall be a new holiday, from now on, on this day of the year we shall celebrate this day!"

Shouts of agreement and cheers of happiness could be heard from every male in the capital and a gigantic party ensued!

Yun Jhin partied for a few hours before he disappeared in the dark of night, the party continued for ten days and ten nights continuously as they ate and drank, while the sage experts were training their slaves Yun Jhin was free to do as he wanted.

The news came after that 55,000 disapparitions around the planet appeared, the investigations led to a dead-end and since there weren't any new disapparitions after a while they decided to close the investigations.

Yun Jhin looked at the system notification in front of him, he finally had gained enough bloodlines to create a pure Phoenix bloodline that he could fuse with the other ones to become an artificial celestial caterpillar!

[100,000/100,000 Phoenix bodies consumed, Pure Phoenix Bloodline had been created and added to the stock, for the host to continue on the way of the artificial celestial caterpillar host needs bloodlines from the white tiger and the black tortoise!]

Yun Jhin sighed, it seemed his life on the Phoenix planet was slowly coming to an end, he decided to meet with Qinghe one last time before he left.

Yun Jhin arrived at the house in the woods and Qinghe with his son came quickly to welcome him back.

Yun Jhin smiled as he gave a one-armed hug to the both of them, Qinghe tears started to flow as she watched him recover his left arm and lose his right one, she clutched the back of his clothes tightly as she said:

"At least you are alive, at least you are alive!"

Yun Lao's eyes were shining as he looked at his 'father' he had his little sister in his hands as he gave her to his father while saying:

"This is Yun Qinghe father, you should introduce yourself to her properly."

His eyes were still shining as he said that.

Yun Jhin gave out a good-natured chuckle as he took the little bundle into his arm, Yun Qinghe immediately started crying the moment she felt herself to be in Yun Jhin's arm, however, she slowly started to get used to Yun Jhin's grasp, but that was only because Yun Jhin was removing a part of her soul and inserting some of his soul will inside her to control her, this was the same reason Yun Lao was so smart, he had some of Yun Jhin's memories and his soul was also in his control.

Qinghe didn't know what was happening as she smiled at her husband:

"It seems she only needed a little bit of time to get used to her father."

She cocked her head to the side as she said that and the family was now fully complete.

They all entered the house to have a good talk as laughs could be heard coming from inside the house from time to time.

Yun Jhin let Yun Qinghe rest in her new baby bed before he walked towards Qinghe and decided to talk with her about the future:

"Darling... I will have to leave the planet soon."

Qinghe's eyes started to tremble as she looked at Yun Jhin and said with sorrow:

"Why... why do you have to leave us? Your daughter, your son, and me?"

Yun Jhin shook his head as he transferred some information in her brain instead of using words, she would understand better this way.

"You want to leave us for cultivation? I don't understand!"

Yun Jhin shook his head, of course, she wouldn't, she was that type of cultivator who was content with her life and didn't want to increase her cultivation further, however, Yun Jhin was obsessed with cultivating and could never settle for such a life.

Yun Jhin slowly made his way towards the door of the house as he told her:

"You have both Yun Lao and Yun Qinghe to keep you company, you are not alone, just think of me when you look at them."

Qinghe grabbed Yun Jhin from behind as she hugged his chest, but Yun Jhin already disappeared, she only grasped the air as she fell to the ground and started to cry.

Yun Lao approached her and comforted her as he said:

"It's ok mom, you still have us."

Qinghe sniffed as she hugged Yun Lao, it was true, at least she had her children.

Yun Jhin was already flying towards the jumping pad formation when he stopped and said:

"Ok you can come out, you want to leave the planet too, I guess?"
