Soul King= God-sent Shogun?
I am getting more of the feeling that Soul King is either:
1) Some Cosmic Force/Eldritch Abomination possessing that body
2) Some kind of extraterrestrial creature that only looks barely human.
3) Some kind of "force" that merelly creates/borrows human body so those "lowlifes" can comprehend him.
as well as a small hint about Urahara having in the past visited the Palace.
Well frankly this was speculated since Aizen conversation, but I guess this pretty much confirms it.
Yes but Aizen also implied that he saw him and I wasn't sure if that meant that both Aizen and Urahara have visited the palace OR that they have seen him through..I don't know some kind of orjection or that they once snuck in. BUT the fact that this Yakuza dude was aware even of the secrets of Urahara must mean that Urahara not only was there but he also was in great relationships with them(possibly a past 0 squad member?).

Whatever he is in nature, it seems to me that artistically speaking, Kubo is trying the reverse of other historical manga that depict Shogun as the pure righteous shogun and instead he is something along the lines of your post.
