Lately, I've been thinking lot about about Soul King and the rest of gods in Bleach Universe and some things about them are a bit beyond me. Due to this, I wish to share my theories with you guys.

1. Yhwach is not human

Yes, yes, I know, he is a Quincy. And so what? Ebern and Pernida are also not human, and they managed to wield Quincy powers as well. I think that Yhwach should be categorized as Deity, because:
 * He came from Soul King. However, it was never revealed who was Yhwach's mother, or if he ever had one, and frankly, Soul King seems ill-equipped for conceiving a child by any normal means. For all we know, he could be another part of Soul King. Let's be honest, if Soul King is omniscient and can see the future, I doubt he would willingly create Yhwach.
 * His abilities are beyond anything that any human being ever exhibited: he can alter his own soul, has potential to live forever, can consume any being regardless of its power, and can see and alter the future.

2. Soul King

Theory: In a distant past, Soul King was an insanely powerful being. Then came the Shinigami. If I remember correctly, someone (not sure who, tho) stated that Shinigami put restrains on Soul King's power. I think they did it by dismembering him and locking him up in that cocoon thingy he floats in. His Right Arm fell to Soul Society and became Mimihagi. His Left Arm and Heart fell... somewhere, and became Pernida and Gerard.

Now, some part of him may have become Yhwach.

Consider the following; Askin stated that both Pernida and Gerard had their powers before becoming Quincy. It was not something they got from Yhwach, but a part of their divine nature. I believe that the only reason Yhwach granted those two a Shrift is so that he could turn them to Quincy and make them susceptible to Auswählen, since Auswählen cannot be used against any non-Quincy.

At its current state, this theory is not really written well (antidepressants, pharyngitis and sleep deprivation can really be a bitch), so by all means, feel free to add your own thoughts.
