Remember when Yhwach stated that the Spirit King was CREATED by the Serietei, as in before the world was split apart, I think what was supposed to happen was that the Spirit King was Artificially made and then Yhwach was also a transcendent being that had a connection to him, and he was trying to return the world to it's original state, it was the Serietei's fault for the hollows because this is what caused them to be in the first place, did anyone ever notice how despite being claimed to be "purified" and sent to the Soul Society, we never see a single hollow that was slain show up in the Soul Society, most notably Orihime's brother Sora, I think the purification part is just one big lie and that's not actually what happens to the hollows, it was always Kubo's intention to paint the Seireitei as bad guys (until the fanbase started treating them like Dracos in leather pants and the editors took over).
