Documented Selection Rounds

History

Arrival & Initial Skepticism

The Sky Screen appears without warning shortly after Shrek Academy’s entrance examination. Its first broadcast introduces the Great Thousand World as an upper plane without Martial Souls or Soul Rings, where cultivation relies on Spiritual Energy. It also announces longevity and destructive capabilities far beyond Douluo Continent’s familiar limits 1.

Flender and Dai Mubai initially dismiss the phenomenon as an elaborate illusion. Yu Xiaogang subsequently begins a paper intended to expose the Great Thousand World as a fraud, while Bibi Dong instead orders Spirit Hall to prepare to seize treasures brought back by selected Explorers 1 3.

Exposure of the Great Thousand World

Successive broadcasts show both the opportunities and dangers awaiting Explorers. Dai Mubai’s enslavement becomes a public example of failure, while Ah Yin’s restoration to human form demonstrates the transformative value of upper-plane resources 22 23.

The screen also reveals information with immediate political consequences. Its identification of Qian Renxue as both Heaven Dou’s crown prince and Spirit Hall’s Young Master exposes her infiltration to the imperial court 25.

Its coverage expands beyond individual survival to major world events, including the Heavenly Emperor’s restoration, the battle against the Heavenly Evil God’s apparition, and confrontations involving the Martial Realm, Endless Fire Domain, and Great Desolation Divine Realm 53 61 107 112.

Demonic Threats & Tang San’s Return

The Sky Screen broadcasts Xie Yue’s possession by an Otherworldly Demon. In response, Bibi Dong seals Spirit City and activates its defenses, while the Asura God orders the Divine Realm’s passages and coordinates concealed 124.

Later footage leads observers to conclude that the original Tang San’s soul and Soul Mark have been erased beyond resurrection. The screen continues showing the being using his identity as he serves the Heavenly Evil God 170 172.

When Tang San returns to slaughter Douluo Continent, the Sky Screen projects the Far North confrontation to people sheltering across the continent, including the arrival of Lin Jing, Xiao Lin, Xiao Xiao, and their forces 181.

Impact on Douluo Continent

• Cultivation research: Bibi Dong urges Spirit Hall to record cultivation methods, medicinal principles, and the Great Thousand World’s power system rather than despair over the weakness of Douluo’s gods 86.
• Preservation of knowledge: Flender copies the Heroes Record because he does not know how long the Sky Screen will remain available 92.
• Practical learning: Oscar learns to recognize some Great Thousand World characters from earlier broadcasts and uses that knowledge to read Luo City’s name 96.
• Sect mobilization: Recognizing Tang Chen on-screen prompts the Clear Sky Sect to lift its mountain-sealing decree and seek renewed contact with the Four Great Single-Attribute Clans 47.
• Changing ambitions: Su Changqing’s rise from a lowly Profound Python fate encourages Tang San and Yu Yuanzhen to reconsider whether their own foundations can be transformed 84.
• Divided public response: New countdowns send some inhabitants into hiding, while others eagerly seek selection as a chance to escape cultivation bottlenecks 119.
