Background / History
The Sky Screen appears without warning above the Original-Work World. Its first broadcast introduces a parallel Douluo Continent and shows every Soul Beast there dying overnight, leaving Soul Masters without a conventional source of Soul Rings 181 182. It subsequently follows the parallel world's attempts to survive that crisis, particularly Su Mo's development of new cultivation methods 188 193 247.
Its broadcasts also affect the world watching them. The Sky Screen exposes Xiao Wu's identity as a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and later reveals the Shrek group's hiding place, prompting several factions to search for them 205 221. It reveals Tang San's past-life origin through a question about his techniques 241 244 245.

Questions and rewards
