The main Gotei 13 force lands in an alien Quincy city in chapter 628 and pieces together that Yhwach has raised the Seireitei over the fallen palace. As footholds fail and the Soul King's presence vanishes, a vast fortress rises, and Yhwach christens his new world Wahrwelt.
Summary
The main Gotei 13 force lands not in the Soul King Palace but amid an unfamiliar Quincy city, and Urahara and Shunsui piece together the truth: the Wandenreich lifted its town out of the Seireitei and rebuilt it atop the fallen palace, reshaping the entire realm into a colossal Quincy sigil. Shunsui reads the impossibly quick feat as a measure of how formidable their enemy has grown.
Key Events
At Ichigo's position, Yoruichi is caught off guard by her younger brother Yushiro, head of the Shihoin Clan, whose leap over misjudges the footing and sends him tumbling until Renji snatches him. Byakuya deduces that the enemy has seized every scrap of Reishi in the area to deny them footholds, tailoring the ground to Quincy who draw on it. With the Soul King's presence gone, Shunsui resolves to defeat the foe and enthrone a new Soul King. A towering fortress crowned by Silbern then erupts from the central platform, and inside it Yhwach proclaims his castle the seed of the one true world, Wahrwelt.
