Background

Li Mo transmigrated from Earth to the Great Desolation and initially took form as a weak Earth Immortal. He survived for three centuries despite nearly being devoured by spirits and monsters; a century before the story begins, Bai Ze failed to divine his origins and accepted him as a disciple instead. 1

He awakened a System that rewards inactivity and promises a path to sainthood if he survives the Witch-Demon Tribulation. Its defensive mechanism also protects him from external mental interference, allowing him to break Xihe's illusion without harm. 1 19

Li Mo's first appearance before Di Jun and Tai Yi begins an unusual connection: Di Jun can hear his unspoken inner monologue, while Li Mo remains unaware of this fact. His knowledge of future events and cultivation history repeatedly influences Di Jun's decisions. 1 2

Appearance

Li Mo is repeatedly regarded as a handsome, elegant young man, though his relaxed manner often obscures his status and strength. His long hair is a notable feature when he manifests divine abilities. 73 196

• Usually dresses casually and behaves with conspicuous leisure, even before the Demon Race's highest officials. 49
• Emits brilliant golden flame and solar aura when using his fire-based powers. 93 123
• Can manifest a solemn, colossal golden likeness of himself while using the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body. 196

Personality

Li Mo is openly lazy, pleasure-seeking, and determined to avoid attention. He repeatedly tries to surrender or lose his position as Demon Emperor because he expects the Witch-Demon War to be fatal for prominent Demon Race figures. 44 49 77

Despite his preference for “lying flat,” he is highly perceptive and opportunistic. He uses his foreknowledge to advise Di Jun, conceal his own identity, acquire treasures, and manipulate hostile forces into exposing themselves. 2 46 84

Li Mo can be generous toward followers and allies, freely giving Luohu the God Slaying Spear, sharing cultivation methods, and supplying resources to his subordinates. He is also ruthless when threatened, killing Fu Qu and using Soul Seeds or the String Puppet to control enemies. 40 164 167 197

Abilities & Skills

System and Spiritual-Root Replication

Li Mo's System rewards idleness, protects him from certain external interference, and grants missions and cultivation resources. Its replication function lets him duplicate major Spiritual Roots and ultimately collect the Ten Great Innate Supreme Spiritual Roots. 1 19 20 140

• Replicated the Fusang Tree and absorbed its Solar True Fire. 20
• Duplicated the twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus, receiving the Chaos Green Lotus and six required Spiritual Roots. 61 62

• Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Technique — Reached Great Perfection; more than doubles his speed against opponents of the same realm. 13 15
• Great Sun Golden Flame — Created by fusing Phoenix Golden Flame with Solar True Fire; it can damage the soul and intimidate even mid-stage Quasi-Saints. 93 94

• Bloodline suppression — His Great Sun Golden Crow bloodline suppresses Di Jun's Three-legged Golden Crow bloodline. 148 149

Comprehension and Laws

Li Mo's comprehension is one of his defining advantages, allowing him to master formations, divine abilities, and laws at abnormal speed. 61 138 196

• Took control of Golden Ao Island's formation before Di Jun or Tongtian and later shared his method with Tongtian. 61
• Comprehended both Space Law and Fire Law during a contest with Demon Kings and Yang Mei's disciples. 138
• Chose to develop Space Law for mobility and escape, raising it from 2% comprehension through the Star Fruit. 141
• Quickly mastered the Sumeru True Word and Sixteen-Foot Golden Body after receiving them. 196

Great Sun Glazed Golden Body

Li Mo's body-refining technique strengthens his physique to contend directly with Ancestral Witches. 149

• Has reached the fourth of its nine layers despite not seriously practicing it beforehand. 149
• Withstood Zhu Rong's physical charge and matched his Ancestral Witch True Body in direct combat. 149 150
• The third layer permits star-and-moon-level feats; the fourth can destroy small worlds when fully unleashed. 149

Sumeru True Word

Li Mo's Sumeru True Word overwhelms targets with voice-based spiritual influence. 196

• Can induce dizziness and a brief loss of thought in nearby beings. 196
• Nearly compelled Di Jun to reveal the truth before Di Jun broke free. 196
• Taught the technique to Luohu and his Nether Clan subordinates. 197

Soul Law, Soul Seeds, and Puppet Control

Li Mo uses Soul Law to dominate enemies through Soul Seeds and the String Puppet. 164 167

• Successfully planted his first Soul Seed in You Lian and used her as a controlled agent. 167
• The refined String Puppet initially requires the deaths of five beings of the same realm to control one target. 164
• At 10% Soul Law comprehension, he can use lower-realm kills to control targets of a higher minor realm; his stated control limit is below mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal. 166
• Ordered You Lian to kill You Feng with the String Puppet. 167

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Chaos Green Lotus — A complete Chaos Supreme Treasure obtained through duplicating the Pure World White Lotus; suppresses primordial spirits and nurtures Li Mo's other treasures. 62 68
• God Slaying Gourd — Initially an Innate Supreme Treasure and Luohu's vessel; later advanced into a low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure. 35 39 152

Relationships

• Bai Ze — Master. Bai Ze accepted Li Mo after failing to divine his origins, proudly promotes his disciple's accomplishments, and remains concerned about his safety and reputation. 1 9 156
• Di Jun — Sworn elder brother, Heavenly Emperor, and principal political ally. Di Jun hears Li Mo's thoughts, relies on his insight, and made him Demon Emperor to prevent him from leaving the Demon Race. 1 20 41
• Tai Yi — Sworn elder brother. Tai Yi defended Li Mo's right to speak early on and later joined Di Jun in recognizing his importance. 2 20 43

Story Role / Major Arcs

Entry into the Demon Court

Li Mo accompanies Bai Ze to the Sun God Palace, where Di Jun first hears his internal commentary. His warning about Hong Jun's superior strength helps persuade Di Jun and Tai Yi to attend the Purple Heaven Palace sermon. 1 2

At the first sermon, Di Jun publicly gives him the White Rainbow Sword despite Li Mo's objections. Li Mo then sleeps through Hong Jun's teaching and advances from peak Earth Immortal to late True Immortal. 8 9

Rise within the Demon Race

Li Mo proves his potential by mastering the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow Technique, gaining attention from Di Jun, Tai Yi, Bai Ze, and Shang Yang. 15

After becoming sworn brothers with Di Jun, Tai Yi, Xihe, and Changxi, he replicates the Fusang Tree and receives the Great Sun Golden Crow Bloodline mission. 20

Di Jun appoints him as the fifth Demon Emperor despite Li Mo's persistent resistance. Li Mo secures his legitimacy by delivering a speech that summons merit golden dragons and raises his cultivation to mid-stage Golden Immortal. 43 45

Treasure Hunts and Luohu's Service

Li Mo obtains the God Slaying Gourd and gains Luohu as its artifact spirit. He later completes the mission for the God Slaying Spear and gives the weapon to Luohu, dramatically increasing Luohu's combat ability. 35 40

During the search of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Golden Ao Island, Li Mo acquires the Sea-Calming Pearls, Three Lights Divine Water, Immortal Apricot, Pure World White Lotus, and Chaos Green Lotus. 61 68

East Sea, Phoenix Clan, and Witch Conflict

Li Mo's apparent indifference to leadership causes opposition within the Demon Race, but the relocation to Penglai and Yingzhou Islands eventually improves his standing. 77 78

He becomes Yuan Feng's Dao companion and helps bring the Phoenix Clan into alliance with the Demon Race. He later saves the Dragon and Phoenix factions from the Four Fierce Beasts with Luohu's assistance. 93 100

After returning from Chaos, Li Mo publicly confronts Zhu Rong. His superior fire laws, Great Sun Glazed Golden Body, and bloodline pressure allow him to dominate the battle despite Zhu Rong's Ancestral Witch physique. 148 149

Chaos Expedition and Later Advancement

Li Mo defeats Kong Ming, impersonates him with the Thousand Machine Mask, and completes the collection of the Ten Great Innate Supreme Spiritual Roots. The resulting bloodline fusion elevates him to late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal. 131 132 140

He later consumes a Fire Star Fruit, reaches peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and severs his good corpse through the Sea-Calming Pearls. 183

After entering the early Quasi-Saint realm, Li Mo uses Moon Spirit Fruits and divine-ability instruction to raise the cultivation of You Lian, Yong Xie, Jiu Chi, and Shan Ding. 197 198
