The realms of Bleach are each based on a realm/realms within Buddhist teachings. In buddhist context sekai refers to the universe and in bleach we know that buddhism exist. We know just from the defintion sekai can mean world, society or universe. This translates to “Crushing 3 sekai and afterwards constructing something else” where the 3 sekai in question are World of the Living, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo.

Askin who is knowing of yhwachs plans says this 界を3つも潰してその後に何かを創るうとしてる This translates to “to defend against the collapse of this sekai” and is from chapter 45 when Urahara is explaining why the Shinigami slaughtered the Quincy, with “this sekai” referring to their current setting of the story, World of the Living. 尸魂界は魂魄の世界 This translates to “Soul Society is the sekai of souls…” and is from chapter 70 when Urahara is explaining the reishi converter prior to sending the gang to save Rukia. We also know the realms themselves are stated to be sekai. It is essentially saying the realms are these spherical structures (like planets) that float around within the Garganta (like how planets float in space) however, they are not actual planets, as Garganta is not literal space. Thus, this is a simple metaphor used to explain how Bleach cosmology functions. To claim the realms are planets would also claim Garganta is outer space, which is factually incorrect. The words if and could are used here to indicate a metaphor, because the Garganta is not the void of space. So to upscale the boy ichigo if the worlds could be likened to planets the pipeline that connected them would be known as the dangai and the void of space that surrounded it would be known as the garganta.
