The '''Infinity''' (百万世界, ''Hyakuman Sekai,'' Million Worlds) is the term used to describe the collection of infinite parallel worlds that link the [[Suikoden series]] together following [[Suikoden V]], though references to the concept have existed since [[Suikoden II]]. It is a key plot point in [[Suikoden Tierkreis]].

It is a key plot point in [[Suikoden Tierkreis]] and [[Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki]].

In other branches of the Infinity, [[Gateway]]s and [[Corridor]]s existed, maintained and used by the [[Wanderer]]s. This made travel between Gateways in other worlds a mostly-trivial matter. However, this was apparently tied intrinsically to the power of [[the One King]] and was rendered inoperable after his defeat.

[[File:Zephon lectures on the Infinity.png|220px|thumb|right|Imagine two pizzas. Or one tree.]][[Zephon]] uses the Infinity to explain the purpose and effects of time travel to [[Hero (Genso Suikoden Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki)|the hero]] and [[Myra]]. As traveling back in time to change the present removes the very impetus to travel back in time in the first place (e.g. traveling in time to save someone's life in the past means they were always alive, so you had no reason to travel back to save their life, which means they would have died, which means you would travel back, which means etc.), Zephon posits that changing the past results in worlds of the Infinity splitting further in order to preserve causality.

In this scenario, the [[Era Tree]]s are presented as branches of the Infinity itself, with the [[True Era Tree]] being the actual Infinity. With the power of the [[108 Stars]], causality is also severed between the three time periods linked by the Era Trees, allowing each era to develop on its own path without interfering with the other at all.
