Glastonbury was a name that very few people knew before the apocalypse. However, after the apocalypse, Glastonbury became widely known. Seven or eight out of ten humans would have heard of this name. This was because a world-changing event had taken place in Glastonbury.
Glastonbury was the first place where a Desolate-level Yuan Kou had died. In the 35th year after the apocalypse, Kenzu and the Desolate-level Yuan Kou Da Brahma had a fierce battle in Glastonbury. In the end, Kenzu succeeded in killing Da Brahma, and Da Brahma became the first Desolate-level Yuan Kou to die at the hands of a human.
Before this, any Desolate-level Yuan Kou was an invincible existence in the hearts of humans. Even the most optimistic humans did not dare to say that humans could defeat a Desolate-level Yuan Kou with their own power. When faced with the threat of a Desolate-level Yuan Kou, humans could only hide in the Dimensional Barrier and tremble.
At that time, humans even thought that a Desolate-level Yuan Kou could never be defeated and that humans would die at the hands of a Desolate-level Yuan Kou sooner or later.
Later, even when Kenzu became an Emperor-level sword wielder, humans still thought so. At that time, in the human power ranking table, Emperor-level sword wielder was actually on the same level as a Desolate-level Yuan Kou. Desolate-level Yuan Kou was placed above Emperor-level sword wielder as a separate level. This showed how much humans feared a Desolate-level Yuan Kou.
In the end, Kenzu used his own power to erase the fear that was almost imprinted in the bones of humans. He proved that even a Desolate-level Yuan Kou could be killed by humans with their own power.
This completely released the fear of humans and made them believe that humans could rely on their own power to survive. This lifted the spirits of the entire human society. The human race that had fallen to rock bottom finally started to bounce back.
The reason why the Sword Ancestor fought with Brahma in Glastonbury was that Brahma planned to use human flesh and blood to strengthen his own power, and then pull his wife, the Goddess Miao Yin, out of the two-dimensional world.
No one knew how Lord Brahma knew that the flesh and blood of indigenous humans could be used to pull people from another dimension into this world. In any case, Lord Brahma came up with this method and the experiment was successful. He pulled a flood dragon level Yuan bandit from his original world into this world. However, for this, Lord Brahma sacrificed the lives of 3,125 people.
A mere Desolate-level Yuan Kou needed 3,125 lives, and Goddess Miao Yin was a Universe Level Yuan Kou. According to what Kenzu learned from Da Brahma, pulling a Universe Level Yuan Kou into this world would require 1953125 lives.
Da Brahma was one of the first Desolate-level Yuan Kou to come to this world. When he came to this world, there were at least 20 million survivors in the entire European region.
After Da Brahma came up with this method, he began to madly capture all the survivors in Europe … Da Brahma's methods were violent, and he didn't pay attention to civilized law enforcement. He simply and crudely used his own power to capture humans.
According to the statistics of later generations, for every survivor that Da Brahma captured, about eight survivors would die in his hands.
Therefore, when Da Brahma gathered 1953125 survivors, there were less than 100,000 survivors left in Europe.
Kenzu was an active sword bearer in the Yan Huang region. After the apocalypse, the Yan Huang region and Europe lost contact for nearly 35 years. It wasn't until a group of sword bearers escorted a group of a few hundred survivors across thousands of mountains and tens of thousands of miles to Jerusalem that Kenzu learned of Da Brahma's crazy plan from them.
Kenzu was a great person, so when he heard this news, he immediately rushed to the British Isles without hesitation. He rushed to Glastonbury, the headquarters of Da Brahma, and launched an earth-shattering battle with Da Brahma.
There were hundreds of different descriptions of this battle, and there were more than 100,000 movies, TV shows, anime, novels, and research papers about this topic. Therefore, the specific process won't be described one by one. In any case, the result was that Da Brahma died, and the 1953125 survivors that Da Brahma had crawled up to be sacrificed were all saved by Kenzu, unharmed.
It was easy to rescue these 1953125 survivors, but how to settle them became a big problem.
If they were allowed to return to their previous state of life, these survivors would sooner or later die in the hands of other Yuan Kou.
It was also impossible to bring them to the safe base city of Yanjing City. Nearly two million people had migrated, and only God knew if there would be 200,000 survivors who arrived in Yanjing City in the end.
After careful consideration, Kenzu decided to follow the example of Yanjing City and Jerusalem City, and build the third base city of mankind on the ruins of London City in the English Isles. [PS: It seems that in the previous chapters, it was specifically said that the three base cities built by Kenzu were Yanjing City, Jerusalem City, and which city … But the author is retarded. He can't remember now. After flipping through the previous chapters, he can't find this setting. He only vaguely remembers that it should be London City. If it's not this city, please don't slap me in the face!]
As a result, Kenzu stayed in the British Isles for three years. While protecting these survivors, he was also responsible for the construction of the entire London Base City, and these nearly two million survivors became the first natives of London Base City.
At this point, the three base cities built in the era of Kenzu had basically all appeared. This was also one of the great contributions made by Kenzu to mankind, which was praised by later generations.
…
The topic returned to Glastonbury. Because of that horrible experience, Glastonbury once became a forbidden area in the hearts of the people of London, but because it was close to London, Glastonbury once became a safe zone without Yuan Kou.
But then there was a huge change. About six or seven hundred years ago, the Palace of Valhalla once commanded a major attack on London.
Later, the attack failed, and London launched a counterattack. Most of the Yuan Kou retreated to Glastonbury.
Just as these Yuan Kou were about to be completely annihilated by London, one of the three desolate-level Yuan Kou of the Palace of Valhalla, Confucius, appeared.
Confucius easily suppressed the heavily injured Emperor Sword level swordsman of London. Helplessly, London could only give up on the counterattack, and Glastonbury was completely controlled by the Palace of Valhalla. It became a large stronghold used by the Palace of Valhalla to suppress London. Many Yuan Kou from the Palace of Valhalla occupied the stronghold all year round. Even London could not do anything about this stronghold for a while. They could only silently accept the existence of such a large Yuan Kou stronghold about two hundred kilometers away from their own base city.
However, it was worth mentioning that before the apocalypse, Glastonbury was actually a very famous place among the 2D people. This was because there was a tomb there. It was the tomb of King Arthur of England, also known as Artoria Pendragon. More accurately, it was a cenotaph.
…
According to Yi Wenjun's confession, the missing Four-Winged Angel Sword was in the Glastonbury stronghold of the Palace of Valhalla.
Yi Wenjun did not say why the Four-Winged Angel Sword was in the Glastonbury stronghold.
However, the Four-Winged Angel Sword was stolen by Sword Immortal Tian Hong. Along with the Four-Winged Angel Sword, a tenth of the Sword Ladies in Yan Jing City's Sword Tower were also stolen.
In that case, Gu Xuan Yuan could speculate that apart from the Four-Winged Angel Sword, the other Swordmaidens lost in Yan Jing City were very likely hidden in the Glastonbury stronghold. What happened to Sword Immortal Tian Heng was also very likely planned by the Martyr's Palace.
What Gu Xuanyuan found even more coincidental was that the Palace of Valhalla that Sword Immortal Scarlet had gone to take revenge on was also the Glastonbury stronghold.
According to Gu Xuanyuan's previous analysis, in order to completely synchronize with the Immortal Extermination Sword in his hand, he had to obtain the synchronization of one of the three sisters of the Immortal Extermination Sword … Among the three sisters, he could not find any clues. Only the Immortal Extinguish Sword, which was once Sword Immortal Scarlet's Sword Lady, had been lost in the battle between Sword Immortal Scarlet and the Glastonbury stronghold.
This also meant that the Immortal Extinguish Sword was very likely hidden in the Glastonbury stronghold. This way, Gu Xuanyuan would discover two crucial mission clues that were all focused on Glastonbury. As the largest human stronghold of the Palace of Valhalla, it was very likely that there was a passage that led directly to the Palace of Valhalla's base in the dimensional rift, which was also the Palace of Valhalla that Drifting Goblet Jiandi had once entered.
According to the information left behind by Ying Zheng, Artoria was currently trapped in the Seamless Passage. If Guhan wanted to rescue Artoria, then the Glastonbury stronghold would be Gu Xuanyuan's best route to the Palace of Valhalla. Only through Glastonbury would Gu Xuanyuan be able to enter the mysterious Palace of Valhalla's base.
This meant that Gu Xuanyuan had no choice but to make a trip to Glastonbury. Even if he had to temporarily ignore the problem of Artoria and solve the problem of the Immortal Extermination Sword and the Four-Winged Angel Sword, he still had to make a trip.
In this case, going to London had become an unavoidable matter … If he wanted to walk through Glastonbury safely, then London had become a place that Gu Xuan had no choice but to go.
