Hope this thing with the Soul King doesn't turn into some crazy creation/TBBT concept bordering on the grand unified theory and the theory of everything but just put in magical manga form. But yeah if Soul Society "created" the Soul King, he wasn't there all the time, so there must have been a time when there were no or little souls, no Hueco Mundo etc, because how would they exist when he wasnt there and they collapse when he dies? Prolly some other godlike being pulling some strings somewhere. Makes the Soul King sound like some blank husk that just pushes things to and fro throughout the world.
