Mainly... merging each person's shards one by one. Slower, but likely safer, yes?

That... would be inordinately slow. Rather than thousands of years, it might take millions.

Furthermore, it would not resolve the issue of the land itself being sundered.

[He hums, tapping his cheek.]

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.

Perhaps you should. His memory is clearer than mine.

[also he doesn't! really want to talk about it!]

[WHY NOT THOOOO]

I'll speak with him, then. Perhaps I'll find more ideas, too... I'll let you know if I do, of course.

[because talking about genocide with you is a bummer :(]

That would be greatly appreciated.

[and whose fault is this whole situation]

... Do you think you could let me see Him again in your dreams? I'm sure the other two would be willing to help.

[he knooooows]

...Of course.

[yaaaay hanging out with dad yaaaaay :D]

Thank you. It was just... so peaceful.

I know. There is nothing quite like it.

[can we hug the gigi]

Thank you.

[yes he will hug back]

'Tis nothing you need to thank me for.

Why not? I can thank you for letting me meet Him.

[Thanks for brainwashing him! Yay! :D]

If only I could do so without this consequence.

... I still don't understand why it bothers you so.

I- He never wanted to temper anyone to begin with.

[Oh. Okay that's different.]

... He truly does love us.

[He's so happy... That dad is so good and kind...]

[this is a nicer topic]

Of course He does. His love for the star, and for our people, is boundless.

[It is possibly about to get bad again.]

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...

So they should just be forced to love Him in return?

Not forced. But is it not natural to want to return that love?

Corrupting a person's aether to make them loyal to a primal is, in fact, a tad forceful.

[do u have to be such a buzzkill!!!!]

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'.

None that I am aware of.

[Sighs!]

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.
