The formal graduation of Nine Heavens' first cross-realm specialist cohort, celebrated nearly a year after Mei Chen's historic, pioneering crossing into Sarah Chen's unfamiliar realm, brought the Academy's broader community into genuine, considerable celebration marking this significant, unprecedented milestone in their family's remarkable, continued legacy."I want to share something with all of you," Wei Lian told the assembled graduates, during her own careful, considered remarks at this historic ceremony. "My great-great-grandfather, Li Wuchen, achieved his own extraordinary reckoning through a single, solitary act of genuine acceptance, facing his own particular grief and betrayal without any guidance beyond his own hard-won wisdom and the compassionate support of those who ultimately believed in his genuine capacity for authentic transformation."She paused, considering her own careful words with evident, thoughtful attention, watching the

Ren Hua's innovative, collective approach toward addressing this conflict-affected realm's interconnected fallen souls brought her into careful, considerable development of methodology that extended well beyond anything Nine Heavens' established curriculum had previously prepared her to properly navigate — a genuinely pioneering effort that required drawing on her own careful judgment and creative adaptation alongside whatever foundational principles her considerable training had provided."I want to bring you together, gradually and carefully, with several others who share your particular circumstances," she told Aldric, during their continued, careful conversation regarding this proposed, innovative approach. "I believe processing this shared experience collectively, rather than each of you navigating your own individual grief in isolation, might offer genuine, meaningful support that our usual, individual-focused methodology hasn't previously considered."<

Ah Jiu's careful, patient effort toward establishing genuine communication with Yuki, undertaken across several additional days of delicate, considerable work, ultimately brought forth a connection sufficiently stable to allow genuine, if still fragile, exchange between this tragically isolated soul and Nine Heavens' broader, compassionate mission for the first time across her own three centuries of hopeless, unresolved existence."I don't understand what's happening," Yuki's own voice, reaching Ah Jiu through this carefully established, fragile connection, carried genuine, evident confusion and considerable, accumulated exhaustion. "I've existed within this same, unchanging darkness for longer than I can properly measure. I'd stopped believing any genuine contact or change remained possible."Ah Jiu's own careful, compassionate response drew on everything her centuries of accumulated experience guiding countless previous fallen souls had taught

Ren Hua's continued, successful work within this conflict-affected realm, now extending across nearly two full years of dedicated, innovative service, brought Nine Heavens' council toward significant, considerable reflection regarding exactly how their remarkable mission's continued cross-realm expansion should properly proceed, given everything her pioneering methodology had revealed about both the genuine promise and appropriate limitations this unprecedented work ultimately required them to navigate."I believe we've established genuine, valuable precedent," Wei Lian observed, during a comprehensive strategic session reviewing both Mei Chen's original crossing and Ren Hua's continued, innovative work. "Our compassionate methodology, properly adapted with genuine cultural sensitivity and creative flexibility, appears genuinely capable of extending successfully across considerably different circumstances and realms, while respecting appropriate boundaries regardi

Bai Yun's continued, dedicated research into the mechanism's historical structure, undertaken alongside Ah Jiu's own considerable expertise regarding the ancient severance's technical foundations, brought Nine Heavens' council toward gradual, careful understanding of exactly what unprecedented effort reversing this cruel, historical injustice might genuinely require."I believe I've identified the severance's underlying technical structure," Ah Jiu reported, during a strategic council session convened several months into this careful, dedicated investigation. "The original architects of this cruel demonstration apparently established what amounts to a deliberate barrier within the mechanism's own foundational structure, specifically preventing this realm's fallen souls from accessing whatever reckoning process our own realm and the seven other previously discovered dimensions all naturally, inherently possess.""Can this barrier genuinely be rem
