Heavenly Curtain

Biodata

Background / History

The Heavenly Curtain was activated by Shao Zhuang through a system after he prepared the initial four rankings, including the Path to Godhood Ranking. Upon its setup, the God Realm's perception of the Douluo Plane became distorted, preventing the Curtain's arrival from drawing the God Realm's attention. A deafening roar then spread across the entire plane as the formless Curtain appeared in the sky, visible to every living being. 1

Its first known broadcasts included rankings of major figures, such as Mu En's placement among the strongest human experts, alongside displays of their lives and achievements. 2 Over time, its broadcasts expanded to martial soul rankings, weapon martial soul rankings, Soul Beast rankings, personal monologues, future battles, technological developments, and future historical events. 75 89 116 172
