When Corey first began taking the Infinity Crystal shards from their regions, it was rather smooth going.

The regions were difficult and dangerous to traverse, but with Corey's unique abilities, he was able to avoid the defenses of the Outsider organizations that took control of the regions and also the dangers of the regions themselves.

The regions he suspected that had the Light Infinity Crystal shard, Darkness Infinity Crystal shard, and the Space Infinity Crystal shard were regarded as the most dangerous regions of the twelve danger regions.

Even Corey found it difficult to reach the center of the regions where the Infinity Crystal shards were meant to be.

And that was with the enhanced defenses the Outsider organizations had placed around the regions because of his previous actions in taking seven Infinity Crystal shards from them.

However, when he reached the center of the regions and saw the supposed Infinity Crystal shards, his instincts warned him against taking the Infinity Crystal shards.

At first, he had no idea why his instincts was warning him, but when Nina also advised him against taking it, he eventually saw that the Infinity Crystal shards were not truly Infinity Crystals at all.

Because he had eleven Infinity Crystals with him, he was extremely familiar with the aura of Infinity Crystals.

The Light, Darkness, and Space Infinity Crystal shards had a nigh-perfect aura to that of an original Infinity Crystal shard.

Even Corey who had eleven Infinity Crystal shards in his possession nearly failed to notice the difference.

But when he did, he also noticed the familiar aura of a Supreme in the Infinity Crystal shards, unlike the previous seven Infinity Crystal shards which did not possess the aura of the Supremes.

Corey had a guess that it was the All Father that was responsible for this, but he wasn't certain.

He also had several questions, but he decided to push them to the back of his head since he could not get the answers to these questions unless Nina or the Paragon Ancestor knew and answered them.

"The Light, Darkness, and Space Infinity Crystal shards you saw were the creations of the old man. They are not natural Infinity Crystal shards but artificial Infinity Crystal shards. Even I can create an artificial Infinity crystal shard and even an artificial Infinity Crystal based on the Infinity Crystals I possess. Though it would take more effort than I'd like, I can do it." The Paragon said as he took the Fire Infinity Crystal shard from the air and placed it on his open palm.

"An artificial Infinity Crystal cannot be compared to a natural Infinity Crystal, whether it's a shard or a complete one. It would also contain power and energy beyond your comprehension, and if you're not familiar with Infinity Crystals, you'll believe that the Infinity Crystals are natural Infinity Crystals."

"But an artificial Infinity Crystal is very connected with its creator, and fusing with it means you're intricately connected with the being that created it."

The Paragon Ancestor paused and clenched his fist around the Fire Infinity Crystal shard. A red glow escape from the space between his fingers, and when he opened his fist, a complete Fire Infinity Crystal shard could be seen.

The Fire Infinity Crystal shard sometimes looked like a floating ember, before it transformed into a miniature sun fragment that burned silently, then it transformed into a liquid flame droplet that flows upward instead of downward, and then a flame-shaped crystal that flickered between red, gold, and blue fire.

It was ever changing.

There were several differences between a complete Infinity Crystal and an Infinity Crystal shard, but the one that was easily used by all to know the difference was appearance.

A complete Infinity Crystal had an ever changing appearance while an Infinity Crystal shard had a single appearance.

Just like the current Fire Infinity Crystal that was constantly changing, a complete Infinity Crystal had an Infinite appearance just like its name.

The difference from one appearance to another might be extremely tiny and small, but its appearance was never the same.

Even if it was a minute difference, its appearance was always different everytime it changed.

Corey stared at the Fire Infinity Crystal shard and noticed that it was at the Astral Rank.

The Paragon Ancestor let go of the Fire Infinity Crystal, and it began floating around the Paragon Ancestor in what seemed like an excited expression.

"The Light, Darkness, and Space Infinity Crystals are one of the rarest Infinity Crystals in existence. If that old man finds even an Astral fragment of any of the three Infinity Crystals, he would never give it out because of how rare and difficult they are to find."

"They are as rare as your Omniweapon Infinity Crystal. Well, maybe your Omniweapon Infinity Crystal is even rarer because I never got it even when I reached my current realm."

Corey raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.

"You didn't have an Omniweapon Infinity Crystal before you became the Paragon Ancestor?" He asked with a tinge of surprise in his tone.

The Paragon Ancestor waved his finger. "Wrong. I didn't get it before I became the Defying Paragon. I became the Paragon Ancestor long before I became the Defying Paragon. There's a massive difference between those two titles."

Corey was enlightened, and then he mumbled.

"So, if I succeed in my plan. I might become an Ancestor just like you."

The Paragon Ancestor smiled. "Well, you'll have to procreate and have lots of children, or you'll need to transform a lot of people into your race."

Corey's eyes flashed with a pondering light, and a few seconds later, he looked at the Paragon Ancestor.

"I'm sure you have an idea about what I'm about to do, but do you have any advice for me? Like what I should expect? What I should definitely not do?"

The Paragon Ancestor chuckled softly. "Boy, I'm not telling you any of that because if I do, you'll be severely limiting yourself. To do the impossible, you must not even have the knowledge that it's impossible."

"Knowledge can be what limits you, and it can also be what saves you."

Corey's eyes glowed with the light of realization, and the Stars of Consciousness in his mind flared brightly.

The Paragon Ancestor saw this, and he could not help but shake his head with a smile. He waved his index finger, and the Lightning Infinity Crystal shard approached him with a tinge of excitement.

He looked at it for a moment, and then he clenched his fist around it. As he transformed the Lightning Infinity Crystal shard into a complete Lightning Infinity Crystal, he looked at Corey and asked him a question.

"By the way, do you trust me?"
