Appearance
The Sky Curtain manifests as a black firmament spanning the heavens, replacing the sky with an oppressive darkness. Golden patterns and characters form across its surface before it projects scenes from parallel worlds. To observers, it can resemble an indifferent giant eye hanging above every spacetime. 1 2
- Covers the entire Douluo Continent simultaneously. 1
- Emits an eerie glow through flowing golden patterns and text. 1
- Splits its display to show the Black World on the left and the White World on the right. 3
- At the final settlement, it erupts in white light and speaks with a cold mechanical voice. 158
History
The Sky Curtain descended while Tang San and Dugu Bo were in Sunset Forest, darkening the sky across the continent and imposing pressure severe enough to alarm Titled Douluo. It announced the activation of the Dual Parallel World Comparison System in golden characters. 1
It transmitted knowledge of parallel worlds, alternate selves, and the coming comparison directly into every person's mind. The transmission is described as a higher-dimensional rule implantation rather than an illusion or mental attack, allowing both ordinary citizens and powerful Soul Masters to understand it instantly. 1
The Curtain then opened its two-sided projection, designating the original timeline as the Black World and the variable timeline as the White World. It proceeded to compare the lives, choices, resources, and combat development of the two Tang Sans. 3 42
After the war's conclusion, the entity appeared as the Sky Curtain Settlement and conducted a final comparison of the two worlds' long-term futures. It evaluated Black World Tang San as a hypocritical God King who upheld class hierarchy and technological monopoly, while declaring White World Tang San a pioneer of civilization who broke class barriers and established the Pan-Continental Human Development Alliance. The Sky Curtain faded after issuing its final judgment. 158
