Black World

Biodata

Background / History

The Black World is one of two parallel Douluo worlds linked by the Comparison Sky Screen. The Sky Screen identifies it as the setting of Sea God and Asura God Tang San, whose experiences are compared against those of the White World's God of Life and God of Destruction, Tang Chuan. 1

When the Sky Screen appears, its announcements are understood simultaneously across the world by humans and soul beasts. Its existence is initially mistaken by some for a divine miracle or an illusion-type soul skill, but the identical information received by families, sects, villages, and cities establishes that it affects the entire world. 2

Comparison Sky Screen Effects

• The Sky Screen broadcasts comparative footage of the Black and White Worlds, including past events and possible futures. 1 176
• Viewers vote after comparison segments; the winning subject receives rewards, while the losing side may face punishment. 6 7 16
• Votes must be cast sincerely. A warning states that dishonest voters will be punished. 16
• Punishments can directly alter individuals in the Black World; Yu Xiaogang has the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul Origin stripped from Luo Sanpao. 7
• Beginning with the seventh comparison stage, eligible Soul Saints and participants in the footage can send bullet comments visible across both worlds. 131
• Knowledge exposed by the broadcasts rapidly affects the world outside the footage, notably provoking competition over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its Immortal Herbs. 90 135

Story Role / Major Arcs

Initial Tang San Comparison

The first comparisons reveal Tang San's past as a Tang Sect orphan who stole the sect's supreme techniques before his death. This disclosure divides Black World viewers: Xiao Wu continues to defend him, while Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong distance themselves from him. 4

Tang San loses an early vote to Tang Chuan and reacts with resentment. His defeat leads into the Sky Screen's punishment phase, where Yu Xiaogang is selected for punishment instead. 6 7

Shrek Academy Broadcasts

The Sky Screen later exposes Black World's Shrek Academy as a dilapidated village academy and broadcasts Yu Xiaogang's methods, theories, and training regime to both worlds. 60 68

The broadcasts also bring Tang San's growth into public view, including his absorption of the Ghost Vine soul ring, acquisition of Parasite, breakthrough to Soul Grand Master, and later absorption of a two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider soul ring. 45 67

Exposure of Hidden Resources and Secrets

The revelation of the Black World's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its Immortal Herbs causes powerful factions to seek the equivalent location in the White World. 88 90

The Sky Screen also publicizes Xiao Wu's identity as a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soft Bone Rabbit, immediately placing her at risk from human factions and prompting the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python to attempt a rescue. 139

Bullet Comment Era

After bullet comments become available, Black World figures directly argue with their White World counterparts. These exchanges intensify disputes over Yu Xiaogang's claimed accomplishments, Tang San's conduct, and the treatment of Xiao Wu. 131 142 223

Lin Ao and others use the White World's failure to produce a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill as evidence that Black Yu Xiaogang plagiarized Shi Nian's research materials rather than independently developing the technique. 142 157

Later Future Broadcasts

Later footage depicts the Black World's future political upheaval, including Martial Soul Hall's transformation into the Spirit Hall Empire and its destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. 170 369

The Black World also witnesses Tang San's return from Sea God Island, his conflict with Qian Renxue, and his actions involving Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python. These events remain heavily disputed by viewers from both worlds. 176 374 376
