His soul was absolutley not absorbed by the LDB. I suggest playing through again, or watching a video on his defeat. There is no soul absobtion. We don't have any idea what happened to him. As he is one of the greater Aka shards, it's likely he's just down, not out. What we do know is that the end of the kalpa is delayed, potentially permanently.

I also what to be very clear about something people keep saying here...

Dragons are NOT children of Akatosh. As an et'ada, Aka cannot have children. Akatosh, like Auri-El, Alduin, the dov, and jill, are all shards of Aka. Some shards are smaller, like dov and jill, while others are larger, like Akatosh, Alduin, and Auri-El.

On Dragonborn Emperors and the Chim-el Adabal: The gem was NOT created by Akatosh. It was forged by Ayleids after a drop of Lorkhan's blood fell into the Heartland. The gem is also said to be Akatosh's heart. Lots of Lorkhan and Akatosh connections here. The stone was destroyed, thus deactivating White-Gold.

On the Towers. Tower lore was known by at least a select few powerful individuals who were warned about the falling Towers not long before the Oblivion Crisis.
