Lin Zhi, the Prophet of the Wise Cat Clan, is someone who seeks, not someone who chooses.
It was Lin Zhi who found Fang Mu, not Lin Zhi who chose Fang Mu.
Identity is something that cannot be faked.
If the Prophet of the Wise Cat Clan could arbitrarily designate someone as the heir of the Sage, then the Wise Cat Clan would not have endured thousands of generations of prophetic succession to this day!
Upon hearing this, Fang Mu's pupils involuntarily contracted, feeling the weight of the key Lin Zhi handed to him.
In ancient texts, Fang Mu had seen some records about the Sage, though only fragmented mentions, but that Giant Whale capable of supporting mighty cities was indeed the possession of the Sage.
Just now Lin Zhi mentioned that it was the Giant Whale suspended in the sky that had purged this world of Spiritual Energy.
"Since opening the Sage's Gate will confirm my identity, I don't think it's necessary to seek further verification from Senior Lin."
