Chu Zheng stared at the Little Taoist in front of him, vaguely sensing something amiss, yet for a moment he couldn't find any flaws.
Perhaps detecting the doubt in Chu Zheng's eyes, the Little Taoist remained calm in demeanor:
"Additionally, I need someone to replace me in order to advance further and transcend the sequence of time loops, freeing oneself from the true shackles."
"When I completely assumed the role as Master of Heavenly Fortune, I was also bound by the River of Space-Time. It trapped me within this Epoch, with no path forward or back, and no door to transcendence."
Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng felt a bit relieved and asked doubtfully:
"What do you need me to do?"
"It's not about what I need you to do, but rather what you yourself desire."
The Little Taoist shook his head slightly and spoke solemnly:
"This is the turning point of the River of Space-Time; I've met you here countless times."
"What does this mean?" Chu Zheng asked in confusion.
