Background / History
The Sky Screen manifests above the world to broadcast scenes involving figures and events from Douluo Continent and Teyvat. Its earliest documented broadcast reveals the Heavenly Snow Woman as the sixth-ranked powerhouse while she battles an unidentified opponent 8.
It subsequently presents ranked “Famous Scenes,” strength-related displays, personal histories, future events, faction rankings, and other revelations. Its broadcasts expose information that subjects would prefer hidden, including Yu Xiaogang’s motives and past actions, Qian Renxue’s identity, and Zhongli’s unwilling arrival on Douluo Continent through an unstable spatial rift 69 71 75 76.
After an awards ceremony, the Sky Screen falls silent for a period while gathering data without directly interfering in people’s lives. It later resumes activity by announcing the Top Ten Forces List of Douluo Continent 136.

Data Collection and Autonomy
The Sky Screen can become inactive after a broadcast cycle, remaining silent while collecting data 136. Its actions nevertheless continue to alter the balance between humans, Soul Beasts, sects, and gods through disclosures and rewards.
- Its rewards can radically strengthen entire factions, producing fear of beast tides and a widening power gap between ranked and unranked groups 139 149 151.
- Its strengthened Star Dou Great Forest Spirit Beasts make suitable prey scarce for lower-level Spirit Masters, threatening the Spirit Master profession 151.
- It is seemingly unaffected by conventional divine force: the Asura God attempts to destroy it and is severely injured instead 102.
Limitations
- The Sky Screen’s origin, goals, and decision-making criteria remain unknown 69.
- It may remain silent for extended periods while gathering data 136.
- Its broadcasts can be incomplete or deliberately withholding; Gu Yuena’s introduction, for example, ends without displaying her combat ability 16.
- Its rewards are not necessarily direct power increases; some address personal or racial burdens, such as culinary skill or the Yakshas’ Karmic Debt 112.
Impact
- Douluo Continent — Its revelations destabilize political plans, expose private histories, and reshape the balance among major factions 71 76 136 151.
- Soul Beasts — Rewards can greatly expand Soul Beast cultivation, creating fear among nearby human populations and concern over potential human–beast conflict 9 149 151.
- God Realm — The Sky Screen prevents outside observation of Douluo Continent and repels the Asura God’s attempt to destroy it 102.
- Zhongli/Morax — The Sky Screen repeatedly broadcasts Morax’s past, powers, relationships, and arrival in Douluo Continent, making him a central subject of its displays 24 38 69 118 155 156.
Trivia
- Some characters interpret the Sky Screen’s tailored rewards as evidence that it recognizes what individual ranked subjects need 112.
- Its broadcasts can trigger immediate public reactions, from embarrassment and denial to political upheaval and fear 71 76 149.
- Its apparent return after a prolonged silence prompts speculation that it may be alive or artificial intelligence-like 136.
