The average Demacian didn't know where Acacia was, let alone what the Void was—but Zanthia and Gavin IV were clearly not among them.

Zantia was a contemporary of Gawain II, who at that time chose internal prosperity for the sake of development, but Jarvin II never gave up looking at Valoran as a whole.

Even at the time, the Illuminati and Ranger had specialized personnel engaged in the collection and collation of external intelligence, and in those days, Demacia knew as much about the outside world as Noxus, although they only knew about it.

However, during the reign of Govin III, this collection of information was halted due to the high cost of consumption, and Gawain III shifted these expenditures to the construction of livelihood facilities, and carried out the "aqueduct construction" campaign in Demacia, which increased the cultivated area irrigated by the canal by nearly seven percent.

As a result, the production of food in Demacia increased again – at the cost of the fact that this generation of Demacians had almost nothing to do with anything outside of Demacia.

Gavin III thought it was great, but Zantia thought it was very stupid.

Gavin IV, on the other hand, after that defeat, began to look at the world again - during that time, he had been in Noxus, he had seen a lot of worlds outside of Demacia, and after analysis, he came to a similar conclusion as Zanthia - Demacia was gradually falling behind!

Now, in the face of Jax's sudden request, Gavin III is slightly displeased, but Gavin IV and Zantia find a new opportunity.

Just when Gavin III wanted to open his mouth and vaguely pass the past, Gavin IV and Zanthia came with a very subtle and faint cooperation.

Zanthia raised his glass and Jarvin IV motioned for Jax to continue.

Thereupon...... Just as Gavin III had just reluctantly raised his glass, Jax began to talk about the Void and Acacia.

And out of politeness, Gavin III did not interrupt after all.

……………………

Acacia was once one of the few fertile places in the southern continent of Valoran, and its richness was unique even before Shurima became desertified.

It is rich in all kinds of gemstones, rich in water systems, and fertile land, and is known as a "land paradise".

As a result, this treasure of feng shui naturally became a colony of the Ancient Shurima Empire - at that time, Shurima (now known as Ancient Shurima) was an unstoppable and huge empire, and they accidentally saw the scales and claws of the Star Casting Dragon King, mastered the magical ascension technology, and possessed a huge army of ascendants.

Acacia has a formidable garrison, and their Astral Sorcerers and Weapon Masters represent the pinnacle of spellcasters and warriors, respectively, but they are vulnerable to the fearsome Ascendants, even as strong as Astral Sorcerers and Weapon Masters.

In the aftermath of the war, Acacia became a colony of Shurima.

In order to eliminate the resistance of the Acacian people, the Shurima people formulated a strict colonial policy, prohibiting the use of the Acacian script, destroying the Eccian books, and carrying out strict class division, in an attempt to erase the traces of the Acacian civilization at its root.

But the Acacians did not sit still.

After the royal family was happy, the star magicians and weapon masters were still working for the restoration of the country.

The master of weapons walks among the peddlers and pawns, sowing the flame of resistance and educating the next generation.

The astrologist is looking for clues to great power in the preserved texts.

Eventually, the Weapon Master's organization formed an independent rebel army behind the Shurima people, and the Astral Sorcerers received a summons from the Void.

Jax – or Séjax Cayu-Raines Kauali Aycardon – was the best of the weapons masters of his time, the leader of the Resistance's most elite raiding force, and the most powerful centurion in Acacia.

Jax was approached by the leader of the Astral Sorcerers at the time, who claimed to have found a force strong enough to rival the Ascended and agreed to revolt together.

Believing in his colleagues, Jax rallied the rebels and launched a counterattack against Shurima's colonists, and when the Shurima people did not react, they overthrew their colonial rule and successfully liberated Acacia.

Of course, Jax knew that liberating the city of Acacia was just the beginning.

The garrison guarding Acacia is all wine bags and rice bags, and Jax alone has the confidence to kill seven in and seven out of them - the real challenge is the counterinsurgency of Shurima later.

Only by defeating the rebel army of the Shurima can Acacia be truly liberated.

The counterinsurgency arrived as scheduled.

In the neat Shurima phalanx, there were nine extremely powerful Ascendants.

Known as the Celestial Warriors, these beings were Shurima's most trusted and powerful force, and they relied on to conquer the world, absorbing vast rune abilities, possessing tall bodies and endless power, and ordinary weapons could not even pierce their skin.

And according to the battle plan at the time, Jax needed to buy time for the astronomical's secret weapon.

So, in that battle, Jax took the lead...... One ride is a thousand!

At that time, Jax was not armed with a lantern, but with a long-handled axe designed and made for him, with a heavy bronze blade enchanted by an astrologist, and an axe made of Shikachi (obsidian) with the name of his ancestors inscribed on it.

Jax, who was armed with a giant axe, almost one axe, drove into the phalanx of the Shurima like a wedge, and led his team of 100 people to complete the feat of breaking through the phalanx of 10,000 people!

Swords and swords rained, but Jax could not be injured in the slightest, and the weapon master in the battlefield was invincible!

Just as the Shurima began to waver, the Ascended appeared.

As strong as Jax is difficult to fight the Ascendant alone, their defense is beyond anyone's imagination, and the attacks of ordinary warriors are not even tickling.

It was also at this time that the astrologers awakened the power of the Void.

The earth cracked, and countless void matter erupted from the cracks, and everyone on the battlefield, including Acacia and Shurima, was infected by the energy.

The Ascended were weakened, and the mortals were simply reduced to flesh and blood......

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jax's squad kills an Ascendant - the only one who has died at the hands of a mortal since the Ascendant appeared.

But after that, Jax finally realized that Acacia was finished.

The Void devours everything, it turns all living things into organic matter, then uses this organic matter as nutrients to grow, and then turns more life into organic matter......

Jax sensed this terrible cycle, and he chose to end the fight.

At the last moment, Jax takes the Rig's Lamp from the city of Acacia, which symbolizes the last light of Acacia.

Faced with the invasion of the Void, the Ascended chose to sacrifice themselves, sealing the entrance of the Void to Valoran—at the cost of becoming ...... Darkspawn.

When Jax had finished telling all of this, and had taken off his hood for the first time, revealing a purple, twisted valgus wound that seemed to be alive, the hall fell silent.
