Douluo Continent.
Shrek Academy.
Inside the work-study students' dormitory.
Ji Xuan sat cross-legged on his bed, gazing intently at the Martial Soul floating before him.
It was a quaint, palm-sized mirror, its frame engraved with intricate, mysterious patterns.
The mirror's surface was not smooth as usual. Instead, it resembled a swirling vortex of chaos, slowly turning.
A Mirror Martial Soul, with Innate Soul Power of level three.
At Shrek Academy, where geniuses were everywhere, such talent was destined to be mediocre.
But Ji Xuan's eyes held not a trace of discouragement. Instead, they were filled with anticipation and fervor.
He wasn't from this world. He was a transmigrator!
Not only did he know how Douluo Continent would develop over the next ten thousand years,
but his cheat, the Sky Screen Exposure System, was inside this mirror.
The system could transform his Mirror Martial Soul into a Sky Screen covering the entire continent.
And this Sky Screen would appear at two different points in time simultaneously—
the Dou Er period he was in, and the Douluo I Period ten thousand years earlier, when Tang San lived.
He could create all kinds of rankings and comment on those who made the list.
The system would reward or punish those listed according to the impact of the ranking, while also granting him generous rewards.
This was his only chance to change his fate and stir up the entire Douluo Continent.
"System, are you ready?"
Ji Xuan asked silently.
[Ready, Host. The Sky Screen ranking, Ten Hypocrites, has been completed and is ready for display at any time.]
That's right. The ranking Ji Xuan had made was the Hypocrite Ranking!
"Everyone's always making rankings of strength or divine weapons. It's so unimaginative."
Ji Xuan's lips curled into a playful smile.
"If we're going to do this, let's go big. Let's give this world a little shock!"
He focused his thoughts and issued a command to the system.
"Begin the display!"
[Command confirmed!] [Ranking display imminent. Countdown begins!] [Ten, nine, eight...]
As the countdown continued, the Mirror Martial Soul before Ji Xuan suddenly shot into the air, becoming a streak of light as it soared into the sky.
[Douluo I Period]
In a secluded mountain valley.
A waterfall poured down like the Milky Way, its roar endless.
A blue-haired young man wielded a massive black hammer, swinging it again and again as he fought against the waterfall's terrifying force.
It was Tang San, returned from Slaughter City and reborn anew.
Beside him stood a burly, one-armed middle-aged man with his hands behind his back.
It was Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.
"Your five-year appointment is almost here. Are you ready?"
Tang Hao's voice was low.
"Mm."
Tang San nodded, a powerful longing flashing in his eyes.
"I should go see Xiao Wu."
At the same time.
Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong sat high upon the papal throne, gazing down at the Golden Generation and a host of Titled Douluo below.
Her purple eyes held unfathomable ambition and madness.
"How are preparations for the Hunt Soul Operation?"
Her voice was cold, devoid of emotion.
"Your Holiness the Pope, everything is ready. We await only your command!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan bowed.
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction. The entire continent was about to tremble because of her plan.
[Dou Er Period]
Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.
The Shrek Seven Devils, having just finished competing in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, were receiving commendations from the pavilion's elders.
Huo Yuhao stood at the front of the group.
"You are the pride of the academy!"
Xuan Zi took a swig of wine and spoke in a booming voice.
Wang Dong stood beside Huo Yuhao, a radiant smile on her face.
At the same time.
Inside Mingde Hall, Sun Moon Empire.
Hall Master Jing Hongchen studied the tournament report in his hands, his expression dark.
"Shrek again! The future of Soul Tools must not be held back by these hidebound Soul Masters!"
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen stood beside him, flames of resentment burning in their eyes.
The two eras continued along their respective paths, driving the wheels of history forward.
But at that very moment,
the skies over the entire continent changed without warning, in both Douluo I and Dou Er!
Without the slightest sign, an immense golden Sky Screen blotted out the heavens.
It seemed to be made of pure light, stretching across the sky from one end of the continent to the other.
Whether in bustling cities, remote villages, or even the Soul Beasts' home in Star Dou Forest, everyone could see it clearly.
[Douluo I Period]
In the valley.
Tang San abruptly looked up, pushing his Purple Demon Eye to its limit.
Yet his spiritual power seemed to sink into the sea, unable to pierce that layer of golden light.
"What is this?"
Tang San exclaimed in shock.
Heaven Dou City.
"What is that?"
"A divine miracle! It's a divine miracle!"
Countless commoners fell to their knees, bowing in worship to the golden Sky Screen in the heavens.
Inside the imperial palace.
Emperor Xue Ye sprang to his feet, his expression uncertain.
"Quick! Investigate! What is that thing? Is it a Spirit Hall conspiracy?"
Shrek Academy.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and the others rushed out of their rooms, staring in shock at the sudden change in the sky.
"Xiaogang, what on earth is going on?"
Flender's voice trembled slightly.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment.
Despite all he had learned throughout his life, he could not explain this scene, which defied all reason.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi gazed up at the sky. The teacup in his hand slipped quietly from his fingers and shattered.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu... can you feel it?"
His voice trembled slightly.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong looked more solemn than ever.
"What terrifying pressure. It's as if the will of heaven and earth has taken form."
Sword Douluo spoke gravely.
"This is beyond the power of any human."
Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong rose abruptly, shock and solemnity appearing in her purple eyes for the first time.
"What kind of power is this!"
[Dou Er Period]
Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.
"Everyone, get outside and take a look!"
Xuan Zi shouted. In a flash, he appeared above Sea God Pavilion.
When he saw the golden screen covering the entire sky,
even he, a Super Douluo, felt a chill in his heart.
Huo Yuhao hurried after him, activating his Spirit Eyes and sending his vast spiritual power toward the Sky Screen.
"Brother Sky Dream, Elder Yi, what is this?"
Huo Yuhao asked urgently within his Spirit Sea.
"I don't know... even I can't sense what it really is!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was full of astonishment.
"It isn't a power from this world—or rather, it's a power that transcends the laws of this world."
Even Electrolux, once a demigod, sounded uncertain.
Inside Mingde Hall, Sun Moon Empire.
Hall Master Jing Hongchen and his researchers were frantically analyzing the images on the Sky Screen.
"Impossible to analyze! Impossible to understand!"
"Hall Master, all our detection Soul Tools have stopped working!"
"What kind of technology is this? A projection out of thin air?"
"Where is the energy source? What is the control core?"
Jing Hongchen's face turned ashen.
The Soul Guidance Technology he was so proud of seemed like a joke beside this mysterious Sky Screen.
Deep in Star Dou Forest, at Lake of Life.
Di Tian, who had been asleep, abruptly opened his golden, vertical pupils. His enormous dragon body rose from the bottom of the lake.
He looked up at the sky, sensing an aura that made even him feel insignificant.
"Who's playing tricks?"
The Beast God's roar shook the entire central region.
But the giant screen in the sky remained unmoved.
Before this miraculous Sky Screen, every conspiracy and scheme seemed powerless.
As countless beings in both eras watched, lines of even brighter text slowly appeared on the golden light spanning the heavens.
[The myriad worlds each have their own ways.] [Yet the Heavenly Dao is clear: good and evil are always repaid!] [I am the Heavenly Dao. Today, I establish the Sky Screen Ranking.] [Spanning past and present, illuminating Douluo, revealing all beings!] [Those named on the ranking will be rewarded for good and punished for evil.]
The few simple lines contained earth-shaking information!
Spanning past and present?
Revealing all beings?
And there were rewards and punishments?!
At the sight of those few lines, the entire Douluo Continent, across two eras, erupted into an uproar.
Who had written this?
Could a true deity have descended?
[This assessment will be reflected in two different eras at the same time.]
[Witnesses will span ten thousand years.]
Boom!
If the appearance of the Sky Screen had been shocking,
then the appearance of these two lines was like thunder exploding deep within everyone's soul!
[Douluo I Period]
In a valley.
Tang San's pupils contracted.
Two eras?
Spanning ten thousand years?
What did that mean?
Could it be...
that the other end of the Sky Screen connected to a world ten thousand years in the future?
Spirit City.
Bibi Dong's breath caught, and a storm surged through her heart.
Ten thousand years!
The span of time made her heart tremble.
Was this a prophecy of the future, or... a judgment on the past?
[Douluo II Period]
Huo Yuhao and the others were even more incredulous.
"Ten thousand years ago? Wouldn't that be... the era of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils, when Senior Tang San and the others lived?"
"My heavens, we can see the history of ten thousand years ago?"
"What kind of power could do this?!"
Meanwhile, in a small room.
Watching the reactions of everyone from both eras reflected back by the Sky Screen, Ji Xuan smiled with satisfaction.
"Now, the real show begins!"
Before you continue
