The incense fire Taoist must not take action outside the time-space world; this is the rule set by that so-called "Master" of Jing Country.
He and the God of Suffering in Mingjiang Prefecture both believe that Jing Country is a decaying machine, governed by rotting rules.
While the rules limited his use of power, they could not restrain his fiery anger. The catastrophe in Mingjiang Prefecture ignited his true flames, and he was even willing to bear severe punishment to help Zhou Xuan in the human world—"raising the dead, reconnecting flesh and bone."
As the guardian of the time-space world, he could naturally see visions of the future. However, the future is influenced by the realities of the world, subject to constant changes due to various factors, making it unstable.
