To put it in a different way. It's a way of saying that morality really requires a metaphysical picture. That it isn't just a matter of subjective feelings. It isn't just a matter of culture or opinion but the difference between good and evil is something that is true of the world.
And Zarathustra, in this long book, essentially urges us to get over that dichotomy which he himself once introduced. He also urges us to get rid off these ideals of the otherworldly. If Zarathustra has a philosophy it's Nietzsche's style, it's Nietzsche's philosophy. Namely, it is this world and this life...and this world and this life only that really count.
The basic idea of the otherworldly which leads quite directly to the Christian notion of heaven and hell is something that Nietzsche says now has to be put aside. What we have to do is understand our world in a different way.
