Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
LV1	1 3	Initial state. Broadcasts compulsory performances and uses popularity votes to select the next featured subject. Initially advertises no rewards or punishments.
LV2	6	Upgrades after cumulative popularity surpasses 100 million. Adds one daily performer slot and one program, two-performer competition, random rewards for winners, and compulsory random punishments for losers.

• Next upgrade requirement: One billion cumulative popularity. The system records 141 million after the emergency rescue broadcast, 231 million after the bamboo competition, and 259 million after the following selection vote; no further upgrade is documented 7 11 13.
• Cumulative popularity and spendable points are separate: Gu Xingzhou’s 100-million-point Martial Soul evolution leaves him with 36 million available points without reducing the 141-million cumulative total 7.

Background / History

The system awakens on the day Gu Xingzhou enrolls at Notting Academy. It publicly arrives as a supernatural phenomenon, announcing that the subjects of fanfiction will perform their own stories before the entire continent. Its first selection is Yu Xiaogang, whose anticipated opportunity to promote his theories becomes an involuntary rooftop victory pose 1 4.

Gu Xingzhou’s connection to the livestream is initially hidden. After the first broadcast closes, everyone else’s scroll disappears, but his remains visible only to him. The private interface identifies him as its host and awards him 61 million popularity points 3.

Its advertised rules change at Level 2: public embarrassment becomes a competition with tangible rewards and enforced punishments. Gu Xingzhou subsequently enters the performer lineup himself while continuing to conceal his control over the show 6 13.

Appearance

• Public interface: An ink-wash scroll unfurls across the sky before appearing in front of everyone on Douluo Continent. It displays announcements, live footage, and chat messages 1.
• Private host interface: Gu Xingzhou’s scroll can remain visible after the public broadcast closes, displaying his points, livestream level, and upgrade options 3.
• Scene presentation: The scroll rearranges its imagery to switch viewpoints, introduce flashbacks, and continue different portions of a script 20 21.

Operation and Rules

Livestream Rooms

Room	Features
Elite Livestream Room	Members communicate under their real names. They can also read Ordinary Room comments 9 10.
Ordinary Livestream Room	Mass-audience discussion space. Its anonymity allows viewers to mock powerful figures without being identified through the room itself 15.

• Public communication ends when the livestream closes and the scrolls disappear 3.
• The Elite Room’s membership is suspected to be the performer candidate pool, but this is initially a theory proposed by Gu Xingzhou rather than an announced rule 2.
• Anonymity does not prevent outside coercion: Spirit Hall threatens people who publicly mock Bibi Dong, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect pays viewers who demonstrate that they voted for Yu Xiaogang 3.

Selection and Voting

• Initial format: Each viewer receives one Popularity Vote after a broadcast. The featured performer competes against three announced candidates for the next appearance 2.
• Voting window: Votes are anonymous and declared untraceable. Viewers have one minute to vote; failing to do so counts as abstention 3.
• Level 2 competition: Two performers act out scripts, then viewers vote to determine the winner and loser 6 10.
• Later selection format: The two highest-scoring candidates are chosen to perform in the next round 12 13.

Script Choice, Rewards, and Punishments

• Each contestant is offered three scripts with only their titles revealed 14.
• If the selection countdown expires, the livestream chooses the script most anticipated by the audience 15.
• Choosing the same script can produce a shared performance rather than separate, unrelated shows 7 15.
• Advertised rewards include increased Soul Ring age, Martial Soul quality, Soul Power, godhood, or an even higher existence. These are possibilities, not guaranteed outcomes 6.
• The first documented competition reward is Tang San’s Four-Hundred-Year Solitary Bamboo Soul Ring. He may refuse it, but cannot transfer it to another person 11.
• The first documented punishment is Yu Xiaogang’s Tough Bamboo Temptation: a compulsory bamboo pole dance presented as a lesson for Tang San 11 12.

Abilities & Skills

Continent-Wide Broadcasting

The livestream reaches all of Douluo Continent and connects its viewers in real time 1.

• Can forcibly awaken sleeping viewers when an emergency broadcast begins 4.
• Provides recaps through images delivered directly into viewers’ minds 4.
• Shows selected private replays, including the rescue footage shown to Tang San after he regains consciousness 5.
• Can let an unconscious performer continue watching the broadcast, as demonstrated with Bibi Dong 20.
• Its imagery can remain visible even when viewers close their eyes 22.

Compulsory Performance Control

The system can override a subject’s movement and speech to enforce its program 1 7.

• Forces Yu Xiaogang to climb onto Notting Academy’s roof and holds him in the victory pose for approximately three minutes 1 2.
• Controls dialogue, bodily actions, and, during some sequences, the ability to post chat messages 8 22.
• Changes costumes instantly, replacing Yu Xiaogang’s robe with an outfit matching Xiao Wu’s for his punishment 12.
• Does not necessarily dictate every emotion or action: Yu Xiaogang’s tears during simulated godhood are genuine, and Gu Xingzhou can improvise beyond the script 9 19.

Teleportation and Simulation Theater

The livestream transports performers to designated settings and stages physically convincing hypothetical scenarios 7 16.

• Teleports Yu Xiaogang and Tang San to Soul Hunting Forest, where they remain after the performance 7 14.
• Temporarily supplies powers that performers can physically feel. Tang San’s scripted pole-vault ascent is also visible to observers outside the scroll 8.
• Simulates an extended training period for Yu Xiaogang within the bamboo storyline 8 9.
• Restores performers to their pre-performance states when the simulation theater ends, removing temporary divine power and physical injuries 10.
• Scripted godhood, death, and Martial Soul transformations are not proof of permanent advancement or actual death 10 20.

Emergency Detection and Intervention

The system can interrupt its normal schedule when it detects a performance-worthy emergency 4.

• Activates “Desperate to Save His Disciple” when Tang San chokes on breakfast 4.
• Detects Tang San’s imminent death and takes emergency control of Yu Xiaogang 4.
• Guides abdominal thrusts, chest compressions, and rescue breaths, successfully reviving Tang San 5.

Privacy Filtering

The livestream selectively obscures scenes involving performers’ intimate privacy 21 22.

• Blocks viewers of the opposite sex and substitutes a brief text description 21.
• Allows women to watch Bibi Dong’s private treatment scene while men receive text; applies the reverse restriction to Yu Xiaogang’s treatment 21 22.
• Does not prevent the treating performer from seeing the patient in person 21.

Host Controls and Popularity Economy

Gu Xingzhou’s Authority

The public presentation suggests random selection, but Gu Xingzhou controls the show’s displayed information, ballot candidates, and scripts 13 18.

• Creates alternate accounts to steer discussion in the Ordinary Room 13.
• Determines when to start a broadcast, including delaying one to conceal its connection to Bibi Dong’s payment 14.
• Cannot control viewers’ final votes 13.
• Cannot determine lottery outcomes: Draws remain completely random even for him 13.

Point Expenditures

Upgrade / Option	Documented Cost	Result or Restriction
Soul Power increase at Soul Scholar rank	1 million points per level 3	Gu Xingzhou spends five million to reach level 10 4.
Soul Power increase at Soul Master rank	10 million points per level 3	Costs rise with cultivation rank.
Random Martial Soul evolution	100 million points 3	Evolves Gu Xingzhou’s Blank Mask into the Joy Mask 7.
Targeted Martial Soul evolution	1 billion points 3	Offered as an alternative to random evolution.
Soul Ring age increase	Fixed costs; amounts unspecified 3	Improves existing Soul Rings.
Random draw	10 million points 3	Outcome is outside the host’s control 13.

• The Joy Mask is Gu Xingzhou’s Martial Soul, not a livestream ability. It complements the system by converting laughter and joy he causes into Joy Points for temporary physical and Soul Power boosts 7.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Initial Broadcast and Emergency Rescue

• Victory pose: Establishes compulsory participation by making Yu Xiaogang squat, flash two V-signs, and stick out his tongue before the continent 1 2.
• First ballot: Yu Xiaogang receives 50 million of the 61 million votes cast and is selected again. Gu Xingzhou secretly receives the corresponding 61 million popularity points 3.
• Breakfast emergency: Turns Tang San’s choking incident into a live rescue demonstration, then shows him the mouth-to-mouth footage privately 4 5.
• Upgrade: After another ballot returns Yu Xiaogang with 40 million votes, the livestream announces Level 2 and its reward-and-punishment format 6.

Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo

• Makes Yu Xiaogang declare that Tang San can absorb eighteen ten-year bamboo rings, publicly exposing Tang San’s Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls within the scripted dialogue 7 8.
• Stages Tang San’s pole-vault ascent to the Divine Realm, Yu Xiaogang’s fart-propelled pursuit, and their eventual battle 8 9 10.
• Tang San wins the audience vote, 60 million to 30 million, receiving the bamboo Soul Ring while Yu Xiaogang receives the pole-dancing punishment 11 12.
• The simulated powers disappear, but the spectacle leaves lasting school gossip and encourages viewers to reconsider bamboo as a route to strength 10 14.

Emergency Rescue Theater

• Selects Bibi Dong and Gu Xingzhou with 12 million and 10 million votes, respectively 13.
• Both choose Emergency Rescue Theater after Bibi Dong rejects the other scripts; the performance places them in a tournament-related poisoning scenario 14 15 16.
• Bibi Dong removes poisoned blood from Gu Xingzhou’s foot. His improvised appeal to her maternal feelings develops into an on-screen offer to become his mother, upsetting Qian Renxue 18 19.
• The continuation depicts Tang San becoming Yu Xiaogang’s Soul Ring and second Martial Soul, followed by Yu Xiaogang poisoning Bibi Dong. These are fictional events within the theater 20.
• A Tang Sect Thirteen Needles flashback establishes the proposed treatment for Bibi Dong. Privacy filtering begins before Qian Renxue interrupts at the doorway; the treatment and competition remain unresolved in the supplied chapters 21 22.
