The Soul King (霊王, Reiō) is the creator of Soul Society, the Human World and Hueco Mundo, and served as the very linchpin that sustains the three worlds until he was killed and replaced by Yhwach.

Appearance

The Soul King is humanoid in physique, with slicked-back dark hair, oval eyes and very thin eyebrows. His eyes are very unusual, consisting of four black circles which can change alignment. He does not have any arms or legs beyond short stumps. The Soul King exists within an unusual barrier that is framed on either side by bright white curtains as the focus point of a large, elegant room.

History

Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World

Millions of years prior to his death, the being that became known as the Soul King emerged from a chaotic, primordial world overrun by Hollows. To protect the original inhabitants of that world, the Soul King proceeded to annihilate all the Hollows that preyed upon them. However, these actions eventually started to destabilize the world.

In response, five powerful beings from that time decided to work together to fix everything, and for their own respective reasons, sealed an unresisting Soul King inside a crystal and used his omnipotent powers to split their world into three new ones: Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World, and in the process created the cycle of life and death.

Despite the Soul King's lack of resistance, the five beings were unconvinced of the Soul King's cooperation and feared his immense power, and proceeded to tear off the Right Arm of Stillness and the Left Arm of Progress and tear out the Soul King's organs, leaving the Soul King trapped in an agonizing state between life and death for millions of years.
