Background / History
A massive golden screen descended above the continent during the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. Its arrival obscured the sun, moon, and stars; its emotionless mechanical voice spoke directly in the minds of all beings across the continent. It announced that the Twin Douluo Comparison System had connected to the Original World timeline and would publicly compare Original World Tang San with Current World Tang Shan. 1
The Screen began with Qian Xunji’s Pursuit / Cave Birth, contrasting Tang San’s tragic birth in the Original World with Tang Shan’s birth, which empowered Tang Hao and Ah Yin to repel Qian Xunji’s forces. 1 3 It subsequently continued through comparisons of childhood, martial soul awakenings, relationships, cultivation paths, sectal choices, and eventual divine achievements. 5 10 119
As its scope expanded, the Heavenly Screen also presented comparisons involving other figures—including Dugu Bo, Yueguan, Demon Subduing Douluo, Snow Empress, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, and Yu Xiaogang—often showing radically different outcomes between worlds. 60 79 97 107 114 145
Ten thousand years later, the Dual Tang Comparison Heavenly Screen had faded into the river of history, remembered in the Current World as an advance chronicle of Tang Shan’s rise as the Creation God. 176
