In the paper, we continually use the method of image stacking to study the origin of the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) at GeV bands, and find that the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty centimeters (FIRST) sources undetected by the Large Area Telescope on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope can contribute about (56{plus minus}6)% of the EGB. Because the FIRST is a flux limited sample of radio sources with incompleteness at the faint limit, we consider that the point-sources, including blazars, non-blazar AGNs,starburst galaxies, could produce a much larger fraction of the EGB.
