Meaning not even a daedric prince could kill him. If anyone else tried to fight alduin, they could sedate him but not defeat him as they cannot absorb his soul. Alduin's soul wasn't absorbed after killing him. The rest seems good, which begs the question: Concerning Alduin cannot be permanently destroyed, only his mortal body can be harmed, how many past Dovahkiins have "sedated" Alduin? As far as I know, the lore never really mentions Alduin coming, but it also doesn't say that he didn't. To be honest, Alduin could have made a return during the events of Oblivion, or at any time.

Now, I'm getting off of lore, as kind of a "What-If" thing.

So, let's say, as some of you people keep saying, that the Dragonborn actually killed Alduin and absorbed his soul, which would destroy his immortal, Kalpa eating part of Alduin, meaning the Universe would reset. I'm not sure how much you remember of the Shivering Isles expansion, but I'll be using this as my What-If. So, in the Shivering Isles the Hero of Kvatch learns that Sheogorath is actually Jyggalag, the Daedric Prince of Order. Jyggalag was cursed by all of the Daedric Princes because they were afraid of him becoming too powerful, so they turned him into the thing he hates, madness and disorder, but at the end of each Era, Jyggalag is allowed to take control of himself, starting the "Graymarch", the event where Jyggalag destroys "his" domain, the turns back into Sheogorath. The Hero of Kvatch defeats Jyggalag in a battle, which stops the loop and breaks they curse. Jyggalag then disappears, and we haven't heard from him since then.

Now, being that Jyggalag grew in power (being stronger than all the Daedric Princes combined, so it seems), if there wasn't anything to stop his reign, being that Alduin's Kalpa-Eating form would be decimated, I am coming to the conclusion that Jyggalag would become the ruler of the world.

That is all in the event that the Dragonborn slayed Alduin's immortal form, which didn't happen, but if it did, I think that would be a cool story to have in one of the upcoming ES games.
