I suspect it was more a case of leaving the door open. You're right, the ending, whilst tying up a lot of the story threads, was in effect a new beginning, but judging by the length of time it took him to write the eventual sequel (18 years) and the fact that when it did appear, it was co-written (with Thomas T. Thomas, an occasional collaborator of Roger Zelazny's) I doubt if he had any specific intentions of a follow-up at the time.
