Background / History
A massive light screen appeared simultaneously above the entire Douluo Continent. It was visible from any location and carried pressure so overwhelming that Bibi Dong, a rank 99 Peerless Douluo, felt insignificant before it. Tang San could not see through it even with his Purple Demon Eyes, while Yu Xiaogang initially misidentified it as an illusion. 1
The Sky Screen announced a program in which randomly selected Douluo natives would receive training in the world of Tales of Herding Gods, with divine treasures and a chance to surpass rank 100 offered as incentives. It then transported five initial participants and broadcast their experiences one at a time to the entire continent. 1
Its broadcasts proved that the transported explorers faced genuine danger: Wang Xiu, Liu Dao, and Li Ziyang died in the Great Ruins, with their deaths visible to all viewers. These events disproved the belief that the Sky Screen was merely an illusion. 2 4 6
After the first group, the Sky Screen conducted further selections, transported new participants to different locations, and shifted its broadcasts between explorers and major events in the other world. 8 20 37 53 65
Following Hu Liena’s achievement-based passage expansion, the Sky Screen began accepting beings at far higher levels of power. It expanded its high-dimensional explorer slots and forcibly transported the Sea God, Asura God, and Life Goddess despite the Asura God’s attempt to resist its transmission. 78
When Hu Liena’s collapsed Dao Heart prevented her from effectively exploring the other world’s core power system and upper-level factions, the Sky Screen activated Special Summoning Mode. It announced the compulsory selection of three “supreme powerhouses,” subsequently drawing the Asura God, Rakshasa God, and God of Destruction into the Tales of Herding Gods world. 95 96 100
As its broadcasts continued, the Sky Screen demonstrated that its projections could convey more than visual information. It broadcast spiritual-inheritance realms, cultivation lectures, and techniques in a form viewers could perceive directly through their souls; the National Preceptor’s teachings consequently enabled commoners across Douluo Continent to open Spirit Embryo Divine Treasuries. 92 110 111 112
Functions
Continental Broadcast
The Sky Screen projects images and announcements across the whole Douluo Continent, including locations normally isolated by barriers.
- Appeared over the entire continent and remains visible regardless of a viewer's location. 1
- Broadcasts explorers’ circumstances, including deaths, discoveries, battles, and encounters with local inhabitants. 1 2 20 58
- Projected directly into the Capital of Slaughter despite its layered barriers, allowing its divine-sound broadcast to affect fallen souls there. 33
- Can interrupt an ongoing broadcast and replace it with golden-text announcements. 36
- Can divide its display to broadcast multiple explorers at once, as when Tang Chen and the God of Evil entered the other world. 53
- Can project spiritual worlds and inheritances, allowing Douluo viewers to witness events occurring within a subject’s spiritual realm. 92
- Its projection is imprinted directly into viewers’ souls, allowing even physically blinded observers to perceive its broadcasts. 112
- Although it blocks most pressure originating from the broadcast world, residual divine and law-based force can still injure, overwhelm, or compel viewers across Douluo Continent to kneel. 93 96
Explorer Selection and Transportation
The Sky Screen randomly selects individuals from Douluo Continent and teleports them into the Tales of Herding Gods world.
- The first announced group consisted of Zhu Dazhi, Wang Xiu, Chen Aniu, Liu Dao, and Li Ziyang. 1
- A second group included Dugu Bo, Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuyun, Flender, and Old Jack. 8
- It later selected Chen Xin, Tang Hao, and Ma Hongjun as additional explorers. 37
- It transported Tang Chen and the God of Evil through a transmission passage. 53
- It expanded its high-dimensional explorer slots and selected the Sea God, Asura God, and Life Goddess as God Realm representatives. 78
- After Hu Liena’s exploration progress stalled, it activated Special Summoning Mode to compulsorily deploy three supreme powerhouses, including the Asura God, Rakshasa God, and God of Destruction. 95 96 100
- Selected explorers may arrive in entirely different environments, from the Great Ruins and its temples to Yankang Kingdom and its borderlands. 8 20 37 65
- Its power cannot be resisted by ordinary mortals; Bibi Dong concluded that a chosen person could only submit to fate. 8
- Its compulsory transmission also surpasses the resistance of God Kings: the Asura God’s attempt to sever its descending light with the Asura Sword failed, and he, the Sea God, and the Life Goddess were transported without choice. 78
Announcements and Rewards
The Sky Screen evaluates explorer actions and publicly issues achievement-based rewards.
- It identified Qin Mu as the Child of Destiny of the Tales of Herding Gods world. 36
- Hu Liena and Qin Mu’s survival through the Great Ruins’ Dark Night Ruins earned the Life and Death Together achievement. 36
- Hu Liena’s survival for more than three days and her witnessing of the Lijiang Sect’s destruction earned the Great Ruins Witness hidden achievement. 52
- The reward for Hu Liena’s achievement expanded the transportation passage and added two trainee slots. 52
- It publicly expanded the high-dimensional explorer slots before selecting God Realm representatives for descent. 78
- It can assess an explorer’s mental condition and exploration progress, identifying Hu Liena’s Dao Heart collapse before activating Special Summoning Mode to obtain stronger compulsory explorers. 95
Knowledge Transmission and Viewer Effects
The Sky Screen’s broadcasts can disseminate cultivation knowledge and expose viewers to forces beyond ordinary observation.
- It broadcasts cultivation systems, lectures, and practical techniques from the Tales of Herding Gods world to all of Douluo Continent. 20 23 37 110
- The National Preceptor’s broadcast lecture enabled large numbers of commoners on Douluo Continent to awaken Spirit Embryo Divine Treasuries through synchronized breathing and Blood Vitality cultivation. 110 111
- Its broadcasts can transmit training in a form comprehensible through the soul, allowing observers to witness methods such as Blind Man’s Nine Heavens Eye-Opening Technique regardless of their physical eyesight. 112
- By showing the Heavenly Demon Sect’s formations, mechanized industry, and advanced enchantment arts, it exposed the practical and technological advantages of higher-dimensional cultivation civilization. 113 115

Influence
- Its promise of divine treasures and a breakthrough beyond rank 100 incited widespread ambition, envy, and fear among Douluo soul masters. 1
- The deaths it broadcast exposed the lethal nature of the Great Ruins, especially its night, overturning confidence in Douluo’s existing understanding of strength. 2 4 6
- Its broadcasts revealed the Divine Treasury cultivation system, Yankang’s cultivation reforms, advanced sword techniques, divine beings, and the flaws of the Douluo spirit-ring system. 20 23 26 40 46
- The Sky Screen’s displays repeatedly undermined the authority of Douluo’s established power hierarchy: Titled Douluo, Peerless Douluo, soul beasts, and even God Kings were shown to be vulnerable before beings and techniques from the other world. 1 55 56 59 60
- It exposed events powerful enough to affect viewers directly, such as the purification of fallen souls in the Capital of Slaughter by the Goddesses’ projected divine sound. 33
- Its forced selection of God Realm representatives proved that even God Kings could not defy its transportation authority, while the subsequent broadcasts revealed the deaths, defeats, and humiliation of several Douluo gods before higher-dimensional beings. 78 81 97 100 101
- Its transmission of the National Preceptor’s lectures allowed commoners with little or no Soul Power to awaken Divine Treasuries, undermining the social monopoly held by Martial Soul clans, Soul Master institutions, and Spirit Hall. 110 111
- By broadcasting the commoners’ military formations, it demonstrated that coordinated Blood Vitality cultivation could defeat elite Soul Master forces, accelerating the collapse of confidence in Douluo’s traditional martial hierarchy. 111 112
- Its displays of the Heavenly Demon Sect’s industrial arrays, mass-produced flying swords, and advanced emotional manipulation further discredited the superiority of Tang Sect hidden weapons, conventional enchantment skills, and elite Soul Master civilization. 113 115
Trivia
