"You did very well."
In the imperial palace, Chen Yuan looked at Skull Peak God King's figure and nodded with a smile.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly. Fortunately, this God King cultivated the Life Great Dao and could not create avatars. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to subdue the territories of nearly four hundred Chaos Provinces in just a few hours.
"Master flatters me." Skull Peak God King revealed a fawning smile. "I was able to subdue them so quickly entirely because of Master's mighty prestige, as well as the assistance of those God Kings later on."

Skull Peak was merely a First Realm God King, and his strength was mediocre. Even against relatively weak third-rate Kingdom Lords, he held no advantage, much less powerful Second Realm God Kings like the Kingdom Lord of Yu Kingdom.
