Mo Fan

Mo Fan is the protagonist of the Versatile Mage. He is the destined guardian and friend of the Beast Totem leader Azure Dragon, who transported him from an alternate parallel Earth at the beginning of the series. Because Mo Fan is not from the current universe, he can perceive its contradictions, ignore its common sense, and value humanity and monsters.

(*Important Notes in the Comment Section)

(** There are no evidence that Mo Fan died and got transmigrated.)

Appearance
An East Asian appearance with black hair and dark-brown eyes. The eyes change color, before attaining Forbidden Curse, according to the Element's used at the time. He possesses a manly, handsome appearance with a developed, fit muscular physique on the slender side due to his active and dangerous adventures across various monster lands and wars. Test

When fused with Little Flame Belle, Mo Fan's body appears as a Fire Deity with his hair, eyes, and randomly along the skin, becoming flames.

Devil Element
Mo Fan was described to have the most human looking form and retained most, if not all of his sanity while Devil Element is active. As his Cultivation Levels increases and gains more Magic Elements, his Devil Form would be shrouded in more Magic Elements.

Personality
He loves his father and sister but was said to have handed in empty exam papers on purpose just to spite his teachers. He is very intelligent nonetheless and could do very well if he actually tries. Unfortunately on the day where he decided to take his exams seriously, he was transported to the magic world and failed his tests again.

This leads to Mo Fan experiencing an extended period of time being despised and oppressed by the rich and powerful Mu Family led by Mu Zhuoyun in Bo City. Due to Mo Fan's attempt to elope with Mu NingXue that was seen by everyone as him kidnapping the innocent young lady, Mu Zhuoyun was implied to have came down extremely hard on people working under him. Mu Bai, Zhao Kun San (Fat dude always with Mu Bai) and many other people blamed Mo Fan for the harsh times that lasted for years.

As he was transported into the Magic world less than 5 years ago, he is seriously lacking in what people view as common knowledge which further worsen the situation of being despised for him (Which led to him needing to learn 9 years worth of education with only 3 months). It also acts as one of his primary motivation to better himself. In his teens to teenager years, he was very hot-tempered even for a teenager plus his inherently high intelligence make him come into conflict with others everywhere he goes though he has matured a lot, he is still not someone people should try to mess with as Mo Fan has proven to be extremely ruthless many times. He has been shown to have no qualms tossing someone to their doom if they wronged him. Later on in life he has shown to be a bit more mature, thinking of better ways to kill opponents first, rather than charging in blindly.

He has also been shown to be quite greedy, he has on multiple occasions taken resources for himself at the direct expense of others. He has also shown to haggle quite forcefully at any opportunity where an exchange of goods or services are involved. In his campaign for more school resources, he has put no less than 230 of his fellow students in the hospital. This also applies to women, taking any opportunity to hit on emotionally vulnerable women and thoroughly enjoy the advances of Tang Yue when she was poisoned with an aphrodisiac. This behavior has not gone unnoticed and is often despised for it, to a point where a "crusade" was formed out of people who utterly can't stand one another, just to bring this guy down. However, looking at the circumstances he grew up in, it is understandable.

While other people treat him like an idiot, reality is far from it. Although Mo Fan disdains from doing administrative work, planning and playing politics, it is not to be mistaken that he cannot think far ahead and play mind games. Mo Fan is known to seeming act irrationally and doesn't play by the rules of society, he shows very high aptitude in thinking strategically and is very much capable of playing politics as proven when he easily saw through the ploy of a politician and utterly ruined his scheme with his erratic behavior. But there have been moments of some serious "Mental Retardation", where he, including but not limited to: often has no common sense despite studying for these specific matters, getting fooled by azalea twice, hugely underestimates the values of the things he deals with assuming he actually knows what it does, keeping secrets from  Tang Yue and spend 5 minutes in a panic not being able to turn an important artifact before being told that he was only trying to turn it clockwise(in the Egypt's biggest pyramid visit arc).

But Mo Fan was also shown to have a soft side: He is always shown to instantly react when his comrades or people in general are in danger, he is shown to question himself and the situation when there are large casualties involved even if the situation demands it and he always seeks vengeance when one of his dearest dies even when it is against everyone's interests.

Despite his seemingly thuggish personality, deep down Mo Fan has an inherent deep respect for scholars, it is especially shown when the Scholar Fang Zhoulong died, Mo Fan did not even hesitate to go against the world to avenge him! This stems from the fact that Mo Fan is in fact an avid learner who is willing to put in hard work to study and better himself. This is also one of the main reason how Mo Fan became as strong as he is.

He is noted by close associates to be a shameless, perverted and heroic ruffian with a solid moral compass. He is also a true foodie who likes to force others around him to eat his target foods, even to the point of changing the Totem Xuan Snake's palate to roasted, spicy and salty.

His known Nicknames are: Great Demon King (At Mingzhu Institute), One Mage Army (World University Tournament), Bandit King (FanXue Bandit Group), World's Biggest Hooligan (By higher ranking officials that dislike Mo Fan), Demon and Magic God.

Eight Soul Aspects (八大魂格)
Eight Mountains size Souls made entirely out of Eight different aspects of the world, four aspects represents good, four aspects represents evils. They are the result of the heretical Mage Kazuaki who became the Red Devil spending decades committing heinous crimes and collecting countless souls of good and evils, eventually, turning them into 8 mountains of souls which became represented by eight individuals. He did all these in order to become the New Evil Sacred God, one of the Four Great Dark Kings of the Dark Plane. Unfortunately, days before he was about to succeed in becoming an Emperor level, he discovered that Archangel Sariel have caught up to him. Knowing that the Red Devil is unable to beat the Archangel even if he turns into Emperor level (new born Emperors are no match for Sariel). He turned his eyes to Mo Fan, who is also a candidate for becoming Sacred Evil Emperor due to Mo Fan having Devil Element. Kazuaki states that Mo Fan will become a far stronger Evil Sacred God than him and thus having far greater chance of survival.


 * Justice Soul (义魂) - Red Demon Kazuaki (Upon his return from Hell, the current Magic God declared that Kazuaki is unworthy of this title as he was not truly right, banished him to Hell and named Mu Bai his lost Justice Soul)
 * Righteousness Soul (正魂) - Clear Sky Hunter King Leng (Leng Ling Ling's father)
 * Loyalty Soul (忠魂) - Alpine Academy Student
 * Resolute Soul (坚魂) - Contracted Beast Pure Lineage Flamebird
 * Envy Soul (嫉魂) - Black Vatican Grey Cloak Yu Ang
 * Insanity Soul (狂魂) - China Juntong Military Mage General Lu Nian
 * Enmity Soul (仇魂) - Black Vatican Red Cardinal Leng Jue (Cold Marquis)
 * Avaricious Soul (婪魂) - Asian Magic Association Chairman Su Lu

* Irony: In the end, Kazuaki was wrong. Evil Sacred God Mo Fan couldn't defeat Archangel Sariel. It was the connections made by Magic God Trainee Mo Fan (with Lingling) that allowed Mo Fan to escape death in Sariel's hands. During the fight against Archangel Michael, despite Mo Fan's immense powers, in the end, Evil Sacred God was overpowered by the Archangel's God's Mountain and it was Mo Fan's ascension to Half Magic God that allows him to overcome the God's Mountain. While the standoff between Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Ye Xinxia and Parthenon with the Archangels and The Holy City was resolved by the appearance of the Azure Dragon.

八大魂格 = Eight Great Soul Aspects. Through countless heinous crimes Kazuaki committed all over the world, he inflicted endless sufferings and injustice which in turns led to outstanding, valiant and just souls rising up, attempting to stop him. Each time, Kazuaki evaded being brought to justice. The souls of good and evils who were caught up in the Red Devil's madness would be collected and hidden in Japan's holy mountain. Kazuaki thought that this will avoid detection by the Holy City, but in the end, he couldn't escape their detection which led to Kazuaki giving it up to Mo Fan. As Kazuaki is not truly Selfless, he has an agenda this left an opening in the Evil Sacred God's Eight Great Soul Aspects for the Archangel Michael who has his own agenda that began the moment Kazuaki became the Red Devil to exploit. This led to Michael was able to banish Mo Fan to hell easily.

In the end, Mo Fan weakened himself by tearing Kazuaki out and banish him to hell on his own accord. This was described as causing the Evil Sacred God incredible agony that no mortal can ever comprehend and Mo Fan retorting that he will never be complete for the rest of his life but this is a burden he is willing to carry for the position he now holds. Coincidentally, there are also far too many mortals who deserve to carry similar burdern as the result of their irresponsible actions but either ran away, evaded or could not even shoulder a fraction of their misdeeds. Hence the new Evil Sacred God took it on.

Why calling it Eight Soul Frames is wrong: The term Frames is primarily used to describe an object that holds photo or a support. 八大魂格. The Eight Great Souls are not just supports. They are entire structures beyond mortal comprehension in scale. Kazuaki, Hunter King Leng, the Alpine Academy Student, the humble Redtailed Sparrow, Yu Ang, Lu Nian, Cold Marquis and Su Lu are just representatives of the entire Mountains of Souls. Using Frames to translate 格 under this context is too superficial as it is just one of the few other surface level meanings behind the word. Since this word can also be used to describe deeper study, pursuit and investigation of conceptions.

"Let me tell you, heroes don’t really exist in this world. The truth is, I always find myself struggling between someone who just can’t afford to watch someone die before me, and a selfish person who’s not willing to risk his life to save the person. In simpler words, if there’s someone better than me around, there’s no way I would volunteer myself like an idiot. If it’s obvious that I’m going to die for sure, I’ll be the first to run"

- Mo Fan to Himself

"I have a bad habit of trying things no matter how bad or desperate a situation is. I have no idea what the outcome is going to be, but I’m bold enough to at least try changing the situation!"
