The 'God Realm' and 'Spirit Realm' had once been forced to merge into what was now the 'Spirit God Realm' in order to resist the Star Alliance's all-out counterattack and crushing assault.
But as things stood now, the merger of these two realms had clearly taken place in three steps, at three different levels.
The first step was the true fusion of the 'God Realm' itself with the 'Spirit Realm' itself, forming the 'Spirit God Realm' with its thirty-one star domains. This could be considered the initial stage of the merger.
The second step was the fusion of the two realms' supreme treasures, the 'Myriad God Hall' and the 'Elemental Sea'. After the 'Myriad God Hall' devoured the 'Elemental Sea', the 'Spirit God Realm' had completed the second, intermediate stage of the merger more than a thousand years ago.
Moreover, completing each of those first two steps had triggered an explosive surge in the 'Spirit God Realm's' power. Both times, the Star Alliance's assault on the 'Spirit God Realm' had been abruptly halted, and the deities and Elemental Spirits within the 'Spirit God Realm' had driven the invaders back out.

Only then could the merger be
