Shun was Zhang Chen's son, so of course Zhang Chen had to make proper plans for him. If Shun could refine and fuse the power of the Wind Spirit of the Beginning, he could take the place of the Wind Spirit, gaining the power of immortality and eternal indestructibility, naturally freeing himself from the shackles of lifespan and roaming carefree between Heaven and Earth ever after. If he could not break those shackles, he still had eighteen thousand years of life left, which was more than enough time for him to maneuver.
If by then he had already settled matters with The Queen Mother of the West, then needless to say, he could scheme out a future path for Shun. If in the future he had not settled The Queen Mother of the West, then naturally one death would end all accounts—why bother about floods and raging waves, why care about what comes after death.
