2017 world youth champion Edris produced a strong charge on the final stretch as Farah had to struggle out of the surrounding of Edris' fellow countrymen Yomif Kejelcha, 21, and 17-year-old Selemon Barega to put on a desperate final sprint but failed to catch up with the leader.
Edris lifted his first ever major senior world title in 13:32.79, leaving two-time Olympic 5,000 titlist and newly crowned 10,000m winner Farah to the second place in 13:33.22. Paul Kipkemoi Chelimo of the United States took bronze in 13:33.30.
"I gave it everything," said Farah who initially curled up on the track in defeat and then was pulled up by Edris.
Like Bolt, Farah would finish his career with an usual feeling of defeat -- he had won this event in the past three world championships and two Olympic Games, together with three world titles and two Olympic gold medals in 10,000m. However, he remains hero of the country, bagging one gold and one silver in London.
While Farah handed out his long distance crown, the Ethiopians announced their coming.
Although missing a podium finish, Kejelcha and this year's U18 3,000m winner Selemon Barega, who placed fourth and fifth respectively, have showed their potential.
The surpris also happened in the field event as Johannes Vetter of Germany grabbed his first ever medal at a major global competition, a golden one with his first attempt of 89.89 meters in javelin while defending champion Julius Yego and Olympic champion Thomas Rohler failed to deliver.
