So he's basically a chaos god at this point right? How else do you explain living saints?

Soul engineering as done by an at least partially immaterium-based entity, similar to the Old Ones and the reincarnation and almost half-Warp existence of the pre-Fall Eldar (the Imperial Cult taking the place of Asuryan and the rest as the psychic template) Of course the Old Ones had a stupid amount of advantages over the Emperor's current state, but also a handle of individuals in ten thousand years is stupidly easier than an entire self-replicating species.
Chaos is not in any way required in this scenario.

Warp is the realm of souls and human (and most other sapient species) emotions are reflected in it. After 10 millennia of worship, and the sacrifice of thousands of psykers a day, the emperor at this point has become a chaos god. Maybe this was his plan b all along in case the Webway Project failed

No, he isn't. He is too weak to considered on the same level of the Chaos Gods.
Even the Hivemind which clearly more vaster than the Emperor's mind was shown to be but a thread compared to the fire of Chaos.

if I remember correctly, the Chaos Gods are intentionally keeping him alive to keep him from becoming a God of Order. Or reincarnating as The/A Starchild. There was also something about the Eldar Death God being a God of Order too that I heard about, so maybe that has something to do with this mess?

If you can't remember correctly your headcanon, then you are invalid on top of being a moron. Don't pass headcanon as lore. None of what you said is true.

>He is too weak to considered on the same level of the Chaos Gods.
And yet, every single main rulebook ever, giving you the main, foundational fluff of the setting, says he's single handily keeping them from consuming the galaxy.
>B-b-b-but muh retcons
Apparently he's gotten stronger since the Goulding Heresy because in 40k, he's keeping them at bay. That's why they need Abaddon to kill him, because, I believe one source specifically says he needs only to falter for a moment for Chaos to win. His physical body being whacked probably would cause him to falter for a moment.
>Even the Hivemind which clearly more vaster than the Emperor's mind
Also incorrect, in Shadow of Leviathan by Reynolds, Tigerius is getting crushed by the Hive Mind itself, but is saved when the Astronomicon appears as if from nowhere. Tigerius hears the hive mind shriek like a wounded animal in the warp and the Shadow temporarily retreats allowing Tigerius to recover and kill the Maleceptor that was channeling the Hive Mind.

Carnac's based an entire past time on it. The seriousness with which this community takes the fluff is pretty toxic desu, I should probably just start filtering lorethreads again. No such thing as an original thought or argument in these threads.
