Here is something entirely stupid (or maybe)

"‘At the dawn of the great diaspora, the Emperor travelled here [to Molech] in humble guise and found the gateway to a realm of immortal gods. He offered them things only a god-in-waiting could offer, and they trusted Him. They gave Him a measure of their power, and with that power He wrought the science to unlock the mysteries of creation."

We know that the gods also meant to have a +ve aspect to them. Like Nurgle and healing, Slannesh is passion ... etc

My 2 cent speculation ...

Maybe back then, the gods had more of a duality to them than "now". So when he travelled into the warp and made a bargain with them and they gave him a measure of their power ... they gave him the +ve aspect of their powers because they trust him to use it to bring balance (or super powering it hippy style) where these gods saw the -ve aspect of thier self is slowly getting more dominanent over time. Unfortunately, by imbueing the Emperor with this portion of themselves it made the -ve aspect even more powerful in the warp and when Horus did the dirty, things snowballed big time to the "current situation".

So the "offer" is the Empy offering the gods to Buff Up the +ve aspect of these, since he is Mr.NiceGuy, they trust him and imbued him with their power ... in doing so he unlock the "mystery" what ever that is.
