Background / History

The Sky Screen suddenly descended over the Douluo Continent as a golden scroll spanning the firmament. Its voice could be heard clearly in every corner of the continent, resonating within all living beings' souls; its appearance carried an overwhelming pressure that observers found impossible to resist. Ye Mu found its power abrupt and unfamiliar, bearing neither the aura of a soul beast nor that of a god. 1 2

It inaugurated a continent-wide Q&A event: participants register, a respondent is randomly chosen, and the selected individual answers a question within a limited time. Correct answers earn extraordinary rewards, while wrong answers can bring severe punishments. 2 4 22 41

After its initial five-question cycle, the Sky Screen disappeared for a week before beginning a second round. It later reformed its rules for the third round, increasing both rewards and penalties and promising explanations for every listed option once a correct answer was given. 33 41 76 91

The Sky Screen repeatedly exposes secrets, historical events, hidden figures, and items connected to Ye Mu. This leads Ye Mu and others to suspect it is the embodiment of the world's will or Heavenly Dao; Ye Mu later explicitly identifies it as the World Will, which has become vastly stronger and may be using the Q&A to cultivate more powerful beings, which in turn strengthens it. 106 132 215

Ten thousand years after its arrival, it creates or opens a Space-Time Channel at Life Lake, summons beings from the future era, grants each newcomer one chance to become an answerer, and announces that travel between the two eras will become possible after that round concludes. 215 218

Following the arrival of the future-era visitors, the Sky Screen proceeds into its fourth round. Its questions and explanatory projections continue to expose the origins of Soul Tools, rankings of Tool Martial Souls, advanced Soul Engineers, and god-level Tool Martial Souls. 234 239 269

Relationship with Ye Mu

• Ye Mu — regards the Sky Screen as an intrusive and potentially troublesome force, considering its rewards insignificant because he can create equivalent treasures himself. 33 50 132 196
• Ye Mu — believes he could tear apart the Sky Screen Scroll if he wished, though he often chooses not to interfere because its revelations are entertaining. 42 50 90 215
• Ye Mu — suspects the Sky Screen is deliberately targeting him by exposing people, creations, and events tied to him. 106 132
• Ye Mu — identifies it as likely formed from the World Will or Heavenly Dao, but declines to forcibly investigate its purpose so that events remain interesting. 132 215
• Ye Mu — enters the Sky Screen's domain and traces its source to the World Will when verifying whether Xu Tianran's future-era selection was rigged. 224
• Sky Screen — repeatedly reveals Ye Mu's past actions, creations, associates, and status as the world's strongest, while withholding his visual image during his reward announcement. 46 50 98 106 109 132
• Sky Screen / World Will — appears to benefit from the growth of powerful beings produced by its Q&A system, creating a mutually reinforcing relationship between the world's inhabitants and the World Will. 215
