Appearance

Abilities & Functions

Rankings and revelations

• Its first announced ranking covers people marked by tragedy across Douluo Continent’s timelines. It begins with Dugu Bo at TOP 9, names Khaslana TOP 1, and concludes after showing his story 1 2 24 44.
• Its broadcasts expose private histories, identities, and possible futures. The revelation of Xiao Wu’s soul-beast identity prompts Spirit Hall to pursue her 6.
• It later switches to head-to-head matchups, including Black Swan versus Di Tian and Cipher versus Yu Xiaogang 46 54.

Rewards

• Ranking rewards include Soul Power increases, items, healing, and resurrection opportunities. The Curtain awards Dugu Bo two Soul Power levels and medical texts, and gives Wu Changkong an opportunity to resurrect one person 4 19.
• Its intervention can move people across time: Wang Dong is sent ten thousand years into the past as a reward 11.
• It can alter powerful beings directly. Gu Yuena receives healed injuries, the removal of the restriction preventing soul beasts from becoming gods, and an upgraded spear 21.

Fictional Challenges

• Ratings reward more than combat strength: Jing Hongchen earns three stars by discussing ideas with Lygus, while stronger challengers who attack him receive zero 38 39.

History and Impact

Phainon recognizes the Curtain’s apparent connection to Aha soon after it appears, though he says truthfully that he has never seen the Curtain before. Di Tian’s Dragon God Claw passes through it without effect, and Electrolux judges its power beyond anything he knows 1 2 9.

Its revelations repeatedly change events in the present. Information about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well sends rival parties toward its Immortal Herbs; accounts of future losses give those involved a chance to act differently. The Curtain later reveals Phainon’s identity as Khaslana, drawing crowds to his Heaven Dou City clothing store 4 21 25.

During the fictional challenges, Lygus identifies the Curtain and its Starry Sky Battlefield as Aha’s work. After the Khaslana ranking concludes, the Curtain continues with new matchup formats 39 44 46.
