I imagine it would not in fact be so slow, given how quickly mortals die. If there was a way to intercept their souls before they are reborn, and instead direct them to the Source... Though I suppose you are right about the land. Would that I had been there to see how it works in detail... Even land is merely aether, after all. How exactly the merging works when it comes to the land, not the people... Perhaps I can ask Hades.
I would say that that is precisely why it's better to spread faith in Him. So the others, too, would know His love. It's easy to be scared, to reject something you do not understand. But if they just understood...
If you are so concerned about it... Is there a way to reverse it, then? That way someone can both experience what it is to be in His care and retain their 'free will'.
Nevertheless, I think it is both right and the easiest way to achieve our goal if everyone comes to love Him. A central influence for all to gather around.
