Background / History
The Sky Screen manifests above Douluo Continent to display the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking, initially ranking humanity's prodigies. Its appearance immediately draws the attention of major factions, including Martial Soul Hall, Dou Po Academy, the Upper Three Sects, and both empires. 2
Its Heavenly Pride Ranking publicly reveals each listed contender's placement, cultivation, talents, inheritances, and Heavenly Dao Blessings. These disclosures repeatedly reshape the continent's political balance, provoke recruitment and assassination attempts, and intensify the rivalry between the Soul Power and Dou Qi systems. 17 19 22 30 35
