Continuous gradient through multiple elements-CodePudding

I'm trying to create a circle/pie nav that consists of four menu items. The overall menu should have a gradient with four main colors. The menu items need to be independent as they have hover effects.

I would like the gradient to display seamlessly over all the elements.

Here is what it should look like:

Here is a snippet to show you what I've done so far. As you can see, the gradient is applied to each element vs appearing uniform.

Also, when trying to use a linear or radial gradient, I haven't been able to create this quadrent-type gradient where each section is the primary color and then fades into the next section.

Any help is appreciated.

Well I think, instead of using background on "ul a" you should use the gradient only on the "ul" like below:

ul {
  margin: 100px auto;
  padding: 0;
  position: relative;
  width: 20em;
  height: 20em;
  border-radius: 100%;
  transform: rotate(45deg);
  background: gray;
}

ul a {
  position: absolute;
  list-style: none;
  width: 10em;
  height: 10em;
  color: #fff;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 5em;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease;
  -moz-transition: all 0.5s ease;
  transition: all 0.5s ease;
  border-left: 1px solid white;
  border-top: 1px solid white;
  transition: 0.5s;
  
}

ul {
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
  background-attachment: fixed;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background: linear-gradient(
    49deg,
    #6a3fc5 0%,
    #f44336 25%,
    #009688 50%,
    #ffc107 100%
  );
}
ul a:hover {
  cursor: pointer;
}
ul li {
  transform: rotate(-45deg);
}

ul a:nth-child(1):hover {
  background: #999;
  z-index: 19;
  transform: translate(-10px, -10px);
}
ul a:nth-child(2):hover {
  background: #999;
  z-index: 19;
  transform: translate(10px, -10px);
}
ul a:nth-child(3):hover {
  background: #999;
  z-index: 19;
  transform: translate(-10px, 10px);
}
ul a:nth-child(4):hover {
  background: #999;
  z-index: 19;
  transform: translate(10px, 10px);
}

  top: 0;
