So, being Dragonborn and therefore technically et'Ada, the Dragonborn's soul, I believe, cannot be claimed wholesale by any one of the Daedra Lords. For my character, I imagine him as serving each Daedric Prince upon death for 1,000 years at a time to fulfill his "obligations" to them. He's a Nightingale for Nocturnal, so he'll first serve as a Nightingale Sentinel of the Twilight Sepulcher for 500 years, and the remaining 500 in the Evergloam with Nocturnal.

He reluctantly joined Namira's Coven, so he'll spend another 1,000 with her in the Scuttling Void, and so on; 1,000 in Coldharbour, 1,000 in the Shivering Isles, 1,000 in the realms of Sanguine, 1,000 in the Deadlands, 1,000 in the Ashpits, 1,000 in the Hunting Grounds, 1,000 in the realm of Boethiah, 1,000 in the realm of Clavicus Vile, 1,000 in the realm of Mephala, 1,000 in the Pits, 1,000 in Moonshadow, 1,000 in Quagmire, and finally 1,000 in Apocrypha.

He also joined the Dark Brotherhood, so he'll spend one more 1,000 in the Void with Sithis. After this, he will at last ascend to Sovngarde as the Tenth Divine and a Dragon God alongside Talos and Akatosh.

I would point out that Talos was "elected" by the Nords to be worshipped as a Divine for his deeds in conquering Skyrim (if I recall correctly) and wasn't actually one of them. So basically, your Dragonborn will become a Divine only after 16,000 years, where no one will remember him and all records of his existence will have probably been long since destroyed and also during a time where the Divines will more than likely no longer be worshipped, if any of the people on the planet still even believe in religion or if the planet even survives that long. No offense, but that would be like showing up to a party where everyone is already passed out or gone home.

Divine is not synonymous with Aedroth/Aspect: Talos is a Divine (or was, at least), but he is not an Aedroth. Divines are just the deities worshiped by the Imperial Cult, most of whom happen to be Aedric Aspects.

As for where the Last Dragonborn goes when he dies? Anywhere he wants. Arguably he may not even die, but rather may become an Immortal or ascend to Godhood. Having such an obscenely large amount of Dragon Souls gives him a very large amount of choice in his fate.
