The Earth's Bad Ending: The Sunning East

12

This marks the ultimate and concluding section of the third book! I am grateful that it has gained a modest level of recognition! The length of this chapter may vary, as End-of-Grade exams are scheduled for this week. It is uncertain whether this will be the final book or not. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that this chapter carries a more melancholic tone. Nevertheless, let us proceed with this chapter!

Third person POV:

Not much has transpired aside from the fact that their spiritual forms are inexplicably dissipating. Sun remained clueless about the situation, yet he made a conscious effort to concentrate on the brighter aspects. Primarily, he persistently shared his dad's jokes, particularly those concerning dying stars, a departure from his usual demeanor. Nevertheless, this detail is inconsequential as Jupiter might have unraveled the mystery.

"Are we progressing?" Siyni inquired of Jupiter, who clutched a book, his glasses gradually slipping down his nose. Jupiter's demeanor was noticeably more composed as he spoke, "We must continue forward and come to terms with our fate." Siyni's voice carried a tinge of sorrow as he acknowledged, "We will need to move on eventually, I realize that." Jupiter, observing the tear in Siyni's eyes, attempted to shift the focus, "Let's view this as a positive development, Siyni, rather than dwell on the inevitable." With a faint smile, he passed his book to Saturn for inspection.

Saturn has always had a penchant for indulging in Jupiter's literary works. He has observed that Jupiter used to be quite prolific in writing during their time being alive, but has now shifted their focus towards the inevitable fading away of celestial beings. Despite this, Saturn maintains an optimistic outlook, as it possesses knowledge about the existence of a celestial realm where everything continues to thrive after death into the celestial realm, but there is another realm. This realm is commonly referred to as the Dust Stage, where entities cease to be mere apparitions and potentially undergo a transformation into new celestial bodies. The retention or loss of memories during this stage varies from case to case. It is important to note that the Dust Stage remains purely theoretical.

Neptune and Uranus were peacefully drifting through the vast expanse of the celestial realm. It was during this serene moment that Neptune suddenly became aware of the misty hue enveloping his body. Uranus, noticing the change, inquired, "My friend, what has happened to your physical form?" Neptune glanced downwards and nonchalantly shrugged, replying, "I am uncertain. Perhaps it is due to the asteroid I consumed in my previous existence-" Before he could finish his sentence, Uranus interrupted with a scoff, "Spare me the details, mate." He glared, his eyes narrowing. Neptune, squinting his bead-like eyes in a seemingly annoyed manner, retorted, "Oh, come on! I wanted to share!" Although his annoyance was minimal, Uranus couldn't help but cringe slightly. "Mate, what the fu-"

"Anywho let's go!"

"What's that bright light?"
