Only now did he finally understand—Hongjun had utterly set him up by assigning him this task.
Whether he succeeded in stopping Nuwa's Enlightenment or not, he would offend nearly every powerful figure in the Primordial Wilderness.
If he succeeded in stopping Nuwa's Enlightenment, then Nuwa's true body, Fuxi, Old Ancestor Creation, Sanqing, and countless others would all become his enemies.
Though Mituo could afford to disregard Nuwa and Fuxi, the siblings who had yet to attain Enlightenment.
After all, without Enlightenment, they were nothing but ants in the eyes of Mituo, a Saint.
But whether it was Sanqing or Old Ancestor Creation, neither was someone Mituo could afford to provoke.
Having witnessed Sanqing's terrifying slaughtering power, what difference was there between Mituo and ants in Sanqing's eyes?
And Old Ancestor Creation was an existence even more terrifying than Sanqing.
Even if Mituo truly succeeded in stopping Nuwa's Enlightenment, the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun likely would not act on behalf of the West when the time came.
As for failing to find Nuwa and stop her Enlightenment, that would mean offending not only the beings mentioned above, but even the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun as well.
Near the Mysterious Demon Realm that Mituo had previously blasted open, within an exceedingly concealed formation, Fuxi was nervously watching Nuwa at his side.
At this moment, Nuwa's aura was becoming ever more terrifying, and the Law of Creation was transforming toward the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal of the Origin.
"Luckily, the great formation left behind by daoist friend Sanqing conceals and protects us. Otherwise, Mituo would likely have found my sister and me long ago.
I only hope this formation can hold out a little longer—until my sister completes her transformation and attains Enlightenment as a Daluo Golden Immortal of the Origin."
