You have many options. Since your tall tree will require some pruning why not stake the first side branch vertically, and train this branch as your new main stem.... start multiple air-layers on the tallest stem... and make some new trees. Establish the basic main-stem and branch structure of your tree, first. The fig harvest will come later. However, depending on your climate zone, it might be better to do this kind of work next season. Basic pinching techniques will then keep your reshaped tree within bounds. More branches = more leaves = more figs.
Pruning and shaping a tree will take a few seasons, and is really a work-in-progress. But it's easy and rewarding.... you'll also get many more figs at the end. Read everything about pruning, pinching, air-layering, rooting cuttings: (green and dormant wood), staking, etc.
Caveats! I believe Desert King is a "breba producer" which means edible figs will grow only on older wood. There is a great video that explains and shows how your DK fig tree should be pruned for fig production. Maybe a forum member can link you to the video, which has been posted on this forum.
Good luck...you can and will do it.
