Chapter Six Hundred and Eighty Six – The Mo Gods Emerge, The World Is Left Astounded
“Oh.” A tall, large mo suddenly turned. There were two sickle shaped red marks on his thin face. His faint blue eyes were slightly narrowed as he sat on a throne carved with exquisite designs.
There was a smile on his face, but no one was able to feel any warmth from it.
“Xuan Kong Temple is really a failure, even now, they have not reached the gate to shen power yet they dare to target our mo. Have the xiuzhe declined so much in the thousand years?”
His smile became slightly disdainful and cold.
“Itis probably because they were the winners in that war.” A voice came from the corner. The one that spoke was covered in thick armor. His body was brawny and there was a horn growing out of his forehead. He was imposing and his voice was deep and thick.
“There is no way around it, we were the losers, losers will also scheme to take back what was lost in the past.”
A mo youth that was lying in midair had an unconcerned expression as he spoke. As he spoke, he threw a bloody red grape into his mouth. He was relaxed and said unclearly, “Don’t think about sending me, ah’ve been in a lazy mood, don’t want to go anywhere, sweep, ah just want to sweep … …”
The mo sitting on the throne had an exasperated expression and could only turn to the horned mo in the corner.
“I will go.” The rhinoceros mo said with a grave expression. “This year is coincidentally the two hundredth year of the shen temple’s founding. I can use those people as a sacrifice, the shen temple will grow in authority and will be able to attract more clans. It is time to show our shen temple to the world!”
More belief meant more shen power.
“That’s right.” The mo sitting on the throne narrowed his eyes and said with a light laugh. “Since the others are not willing to act, then let the era of shen power start with us.”
The brawny figure disappeared.

Jiang Zhe had been defeated!
The news spread as though it had wings, flying to every corner of the three realms. If it Bie Han’s sneak attack of Cold Mountain Jie was a dagger shoved into Jiang Zhe’s soft belly, then Gongsun Cha had accurately grabbed Jiang Zhe’s weaknesses and tore at Jiang Zhe until he bleed to death.
Learning that his retreat had been cut off, Jiang Zhe had tried to lead his main forces to break out of the encirclement.
But Gongsun Cha did not give Jiang Zhe any chances to retreat peacefully. Some people said that Gongsun Cha was like a cunning wolf that tightly clung to Jiang Zhe’s battalion. Whenever he saw a chance, he would leap and take a bite.
All the people who saw the battle described it like this.
In their eyes, Gongsun Cha’s forces were sharp demonic blades. They would be hidden. But every time they appeared, they would slice off a thin layer of flesh from Jiang Zhe’s battalions and draw blood. It would cause the enemy to feel great pain yet each cut was not fatal.
Jiang Zhe’s battalions gradually grew weaker.
The disadvantage of fighting in foreign territory was completely apparent now. No mo along the way would help Jiang Zhe. Actually it was the opposite. Small mo troops along the way would attack any Xuan Kong Temple xiuzhe that had fallen behind. They weren’t even afraid to attack small battalions.
Jiang Zhe’s forces seemed to have landed in an endless bog. There were also terrifying demonic blades hidden in this horrific bog.
Eventually Jiang Zhe died by Bie Han’s hand.
This battle that was enough to change the world’s state of affairs finally ended now. The effects of this event were still deeply affecting the world.
Yet no one had expected after just one day, the world’s attention was attracted by another matter.
Something called the Mo ShenTemple had suddenly appeared.
A mo god of the Mo Shen Temple with seven mo temple guards had killed the twenty seven Xuan Kong Temple elders.
But even more astounding was that this mo god immediately announced that he would sacrifice these twenty seven Xuan Kong Temple elders would be sacrificed to the shen temple.
Then this mo god announced that Black Cloud Jie was under the protection of the shen temple. Any action that would cause fighting in Black Cloud Jie would be taken as a provocation and a challenge to the Mo God Temple.
All of the world was shocked speechless by the Mo God that had appeared out of nowhere.
Their first response was to suspect the truthfulness about death of the twenty seven Xuan Kong Temple elders. However, the mirages of the twenty seven elder’s corpses and their talismans were made public by the Mo Shen Temple.
People now discovered that this was true.
Xuan Kong Temple was finished!
While they still had fanxu elders, they had lost Jiang Zhe, their main battalions, and their elder corps were destroyed. No one could save it from the fate of death.
Those with any sense of logic would be able to conclude this. However, no one paid attention to Xuan Kong Temple now. Losers would always be immediately forgotten by people. Even if it was a colossus like the four greats, when it crashed to the ground, people would reminiscence about how great it had been. They would say that while things had changed, people were the same and such. But in a blink, their gazes would gather on the victors. The losers would become a footnote in history to memorialize the strength of the winners. And the past identity as one of the four greats would just cause this contrast to become even grander and eye-catching.
Everyone was deeply astounded by the Mo God Temple.
Twenty seven Xuan Kong Temple elders. Such a grand group was one that no factions in the mo realms would guarantee that they could defeat.
All killed by the Mo Gods of Mo Shen Temple!
There was a lot of information in these last two words.
Normal people might have been astounded by the power that the Mo Shen Temple displayed. But among the major factions, their attention was on last two words–
— Shen temple!
They knew very well what the phrase that had been lost in time meant.
Shen power!
It definitely was shen power that allowed the Mo Shen Temple to kill all twenty seven Xuan Kong Temple elders.
All of them believed this.
No matter if it was yao, mo, or xiuzhe, any sect or clan that had some history desired shen power. However, up until now, they had not heard of anyone that found the way to cultivating shen power. The Great Peace Treasure Pavilion had been hotly contested and what people wanted was that nameless mo stele said to be the key to shen power.
The attraction of shen power could be seen.
Shen temple, so the crux of shen power was at the shen temple!
Many mo suddenly realized.
As more and more intelligence about the Mo Shen Temple was gathered, people found to their shock that the Mo Shen Temple had existed for two hundred years in the remote Black Cloud Jie. Even in Black Cloud Jie, there were not many that knew of the shen temple.
Before this, who knew the name of Black Cloud Jie?
Having worked for two hundred years before suddenly walking onto the world’s stage. There were many questions behind all this.
After the sacrificial ceremony, the Mo Shen Temple suddenly announced that the recruits of the mo shen guard that passed the exams were able to learn shen power.
These words were like throwing a spark into a pot of boiling oil.
Shen power!
The Mo Shen Temple announced for the first time that they had mastered the method to cultivate shen power.
Black Cloud Jie immediately became a new holy ground. Countless mo seemed to be possessed as they moved towards Black Cloud Jie.
This was just the beginning.
Very quickly, the defense lines of the xiuzhe almost all moved back. Almost overnight, the xiuzhe who had had held the advantage all this time had lost all of their power. The positions of the two sides flipped and this increased the reputation of the Mo Shen Temple.
A sorrowful mood spread among the xiuzhe.
Shen power, the mo had found the way to cultivate shen power!
———
Pu Yao’s dream about being the “Father of New Shen power” was destroyed. The Mo Shen Temple had started two hundred years already. Even Wei praised their determination and endurance.
Zuo Mo had seen the fight between the mo god and the elder corps with his own eyes and saw the strength of that mo god.
He really was too powerful!
Zuo Mo suspected the other had earth level shen power.
Few understood better than Zuo Mo what earth level shen power meant. When shen power reached earth level, it would change to something that the three powers could not match.
Even if one was a marshal, they would not have any power to fight back in front of earth level shen power.
He had seen how the mo god had easily killed the twenty seven Xuan Kong Temple elders. The talismans and spells that hit the mo god were like smoke and could not harm him. Zuo Mo’s hands and feet felt cold.
When the mo gold had glanced in his direction before leaving, he almost suffocated.
In that moment, his mind was completely blank.
He gradually recovered long after the mo god had disappeared.
A chill ran from his feet to his scalp. All the hairs on his body were standing up.
So terrifying!
Was this earth level shen power?
It was terrifying!
Even Pu Yao was silent for a long time. That kind of power surpassed his imagination. The other clearly was further along than they were. This caused Pu Yao to feel demotivated and dispirited.
Yet what Pu Yao hadn’t expected that when Zuo Mo recovered from his initial shock, the first thing he did was to start cultivating shen power like usual.
Pu Yao couldn’t help but say, “They are using the shen temple!”
“Oh.” Zuo Mo did not stop and continued to cultivate.
“Their method is more effective their ours. They have recreated belief, their cultivation speed is faster than ours,” Pu Yao continued.
“Oh.” Zuo Mo did not show any intentions of stopping.
“Oh? Can you be normal? Their method is simpler and more effective than ours, they … …”
Zuo Mo stopped what he was doing and interrupted Pu Yao, “No matter how good their method is, it is not suited for me. I cannot make a shen temple. We are on a different paths so we will continue on ours. It is not important who is better.”
“Not important?” Pu Yao widened his eyes as though he heard something incomprehensible.
“I do not cultivate shen power to defeat them.” Zuo Mo looked at Pu Yao and said to himself, “I am doing it for A Gui, to release A Gui from the Undying Shen Punishment, and for myself.”
Pu Yao stilled.
“Also, seeing his power fills me with confidence. Earth level is so powerful. When I reach earth level, I might be able to release A Gui’s Undying Shen Punishment!” Zuo Mo’s eyes were as bright as stars. He unconsciously tightened his fists.
Zuo Mo suddenly turned his face, his smile sunny.
“Also, I believe that the shen methodology that you, Pu, has perfected will not be lacking to any one else’s! You are Pu!”
Translator Ramblings: For those of you who wondered about the yaomo, here are the mo with their own shen power.

I thought I missed a chapter but it seems like I didn’t. Pu don’t give up show them that you are the best.
39 is supposed to be jp thank you even though this is a cn novel.
Oooooh sankyuu!! X’DDDD
Giving up so easy, who is sky yao? Thanks for the chapter.
22

47
I don’t know what these numbers are but since everyone is doing it i might as well join the party 😀 Kawaii <3 Kanna Kamui
You have to count down to 0, i think xD so the proper number would have been 38.
I don’t know why 39, however :3?
So if whoever place first can just use any numbers then rest follows till zero ?
Something like that…though only one who can make it happen is Translator-sama…Since people might post some number twice simply by not knowing someone already posted it…🤔
39 = san kyuu or thank you in jp
After reading this chapter, I went to reread the previous chapter to see if I accidently skipped it lol. I hadn’t skipped anything.
Me too!
Same here. It seems like everything happened in a time skip or something.
Maybe Pu will open up a more powerful approach to Shen power. One that isn’t dependent on worshipers
seems like the author had a bad transition between chapters.
this isn’t the first time the author has done this.
He always does.
Second? Maybe?
Also, what the hell is Zuo Mo talking about? He can totally make a shen temple, he has enough belief. Call it the Temple of Wealth.
Yep. Zuo Mo believes in Jingshi and his underlings believe in him😄
Uh, he doesn’t need a temple in fact. Because he stated in the last 3 chapters, he can’t become a totem warrior,chapter 683.
He may technically not be a totem warrior but in essence that’s what he is to his people. They believe in him and almost worship him and trust that everything goes okay because Daren is there. Or something like that😁😄
38
Talk about pulling the rug out from under you. Everybody gearing up for a big confrontation just to have a third party come and sweep up the battlefield. Thanks for the new chapter!
So Zuo Mo just got swiped by a bigger shen power user scalper. Except he brushed it off his thick-face.
haha, Thank you.
Zuo Mo suddenly turned his face, his smile sunny.
“Also, I believe that the shen methodology that you, Pu, has perfected will not be lacking to any one else’s! You are Pu!”
😢👏 Zuo Mo, best gege!
He is such a dear, indeed. Like “Don’t worry, Granpa Pu! You may be ancient and just lost the title Father of Shen power, but you still are my Granpa Pu. The most pretty and wicked of all the ancient Granpas!”
This chapter felt too abrupt in terms of transitioning from the previous events to this one. 😮
GE HAS CONFIDENCE IN THE GREAT PU.
Pu receive ZuoMo consolation…
This should be the first time ever, right?
Indeed😁 But consolation to such a prideful creature…might be almost insulting🤔
Thanks for tha chapter!
A great man once said: “Belive in the me, who belives in you!”
Thanks for the chapter!
“Also, I believe that the shen methodology that you, Pu, has perfected will not be lacking to any one else’s! You are Pu!”
Way to kiss ass! Nice job Zuo Mo!
Thanks for the translation!
Zuo Mo has learned from the best😌
*Pu is energic and busy calculating the best way to mix three powers into shen power and daydreaming of WoC Nobel price*
😃💭💖📃
*Zuo Mo is cultivating shen power nonstop*
*Wei is watching Yaomo mirage channel when news of the Mo God Shen temple emerge*📺📰
Wei:”Hey, Pu, we have a problem! You have to see this!”
*silence*
Wei:”Pu? Are you still alive..?”
*Wei and Zuo Mo look at each other and go to Pu’s scheming room*👀 👀
🍄🍄🍄 Pu is sitting in the corner of the dark room, growing mushrooms and drawing circles in dust, muttering:”Hmph, well, it’s not like I wanted some stupid Nobel price or some stupid title…or anything.” *bursts into tears* 😭
Wei and Zuo Mo:”Awww. Poor, Pu…”
winnie the pu, winnie the pu. poor depressed pu….
Loool 😁
That was an abrupt end someone just came and took up the goal of restoring shen power right from under Pu’s face…
Even worse Zuo Mo lost so much potential profit by having his prey stolen! 😮 But at least he got his motivation back right away!
Traditional versus the new shen power orders will soon clash! After all no one scalps Ge and gets away with it!
The Seal Soldier was recreated with totem fragments and thats why he eats animals as they are mini sacrifices, i guess he will be able to eat the totem of the mo gods
Also, the mo gods have the same weakness of losing the totem as the ancient tribes did
btw i think that zuo mo’s arm provides shen power because his three powers combined into one and exploded so the arm matrix is just holding the explosion an letting go small amounts of it
thanks for all the chapters, it had been a pleasure to marathon this series, and if you want to read another story as good i recommend Warlock of the Magus World, this and that are among the best in originality and development and both of them have thin plot armor compensated with plenty of preparations and research
I was thinking about those totem fragments too…who knows what role BEL-chan will play later on…unless author forgot about those fragments..?
The totem fragments were already used for the ship and various stuff, there may be some of them left tho
I meant the fragments in Born to Eat and be Lazy(BEL for short)…aka Born to Battle aka seal soldier. He could act as a fake totem warrior of Zuo Mo sect😁😂
That will be seen when more of Ge’s subordinates cultivate shen power
37
forgot to give thanks for the translation! Thank you!
If it Bie Han’s sneak attack of Cold Mountain Jie was a dagger shoved into Jiang Zhe’s soft belly, then Gongsun Cha had accurately grabbed Jiang Zhe’s weaknesses and tore at Jiang Zhe until he bleed to death.

I’m disappointed that the battle was resolved like this. Also, I can’t believe that Jiang Zhe died off-screen!
yeah all that build up and the energy got stomped on/sent back in to the either.
its like the author suddenly changed the plot direction and cut out 70 odd chapters. kinda sad really.
You are pu!
Thank you for the chapter!
Meatbun Delivery~
Thank you for the chapter ( ●w●)
Lil pu pu’s dream got crushed in 1 chapter.. poor pu pu..
Let’s have a moment of silence for Pu’s dream of fame. It had such a fleeting life but it left lasting impression to our hearts. Rest in Peace, Lil’dream. We shall never forget you⚰☗🕇💐🌼😇
So why the heck are people starting to count down??
Oh well, thanks for the chapter!
Gummi-san and…well someone else too..started it, few chapters ago? I think it was something about how it would nice to get people comment numbers, in correct order and without interruptions. End goal is to get people comment in numbers starting from 0-39 (or vice versa). For now Gummi-san is settling for numbers 5-0. Random numbers are there to mess up that goal 🙂
Thanks!
Haih, once again author decide to just skip the battle and just summarize it. I am really mad when he done it during the escape of prison battlefield but somehow I can tolerate this time due to have experience it once.
Feel like during the end of Toriko, Manga still producing massive hype but mangaka decide to rush it due.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter.
I’m really sad about the author summarizing the Bie Han/Gongsun Cha x Jiang Zhe battle.
Me too. It would have been epic fight 🙁
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! He has one advantage in his methods the other doesn’t have. The moment they lose the temple or have their faith damaged they take damage. Cultivation from the self won’t betray you like that.
That’s what I was thinking. He’s building something no one can tear down.
So Zuo Mo wasn’t really just consoling Pu…he was telling the truth. They have the ultimate shen power😎
Good Zou Mo! since Pu has helped you, you choose to return the favor 🙂
thanks for the chapter…
i got a little surprised because i was just wondering how was the research for shen power of the other territories during previous chapter. i didn’t expect to get smacked in the face right away that i almost bit my tongue.
Now we only have to wait for yao shen power!
thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the new chapter! Lol! Way to boost Pu’s mood with the sudden compliment. XD
90% filler and repetition… sadness
Thanks for the chapter
Playing to his pride
Pu should have more confidence. The method they’re developing is greatly superior to the temple method. It should also be much easier for large numbers of people to cultivate it at the same time since they won’t have to share belief power.
I thought the mo were slow in the head? They came up with a new Shen method? Before the rest…
They had Shi Zi Ming. That guy came up with a method a few hundred years ago, he just couldn’t do it himself. The mo is slow is from Pu, who is biased.
yep and wei keep messing with that notion. then this shen temple comes along and crushes it.
much thanks!
Thanks for the chapter!
Hohoho, Pu Yao’s heart might feel warm, or perhaps it’s just heartburn.
Thank you for the chapter!
Sneaky Mo, hiding all this good stuff!
Still, Zuo Mo you’re going the right way. The end goal is not to just have shen power, but it understand it! What use is being able to shoot a cannon if you can’t break A Gui’s chains with it. Can it make jingshi?
what good is massive power if it comes with a crunch, or training wheels. Zou Mo need no training helper Zou Mo needs jinsing. It take materials to make a shen Idol after all.
.＿∧_∧＿_ THANKS FOR THE CHAPTER!!

[Copied from JinVodka]
The best thing the author showed in this chapter”or you can say what he didn’t show” was the fight of the battalion….unlike other chapters that spends days describing the side-kicks that you even forget who is the true mc in the novel…(I thinks thats the reason i haven’t started TI)
WEW! It’s so cool now that Zuo Mo, Pu, and Wei are working together and are actually admitting the respect they have for each other.
author got bored with the arc, so he quickly killed off xuang kong temple lololol.
and belief is hard to amass. its like pyramid scheme, the top ‘god’ get most of the belief while the lower people need to give up their belief.
