I also thought this to be a possibility, if the Emperor existed as a man before and there was also the astronomican and chaos being held at bay, surely it could be possible again.

If the Emperor died and the rebirthed/regened it would be curtains for Terra, but when he came back it would be worth it, although the loss of life on Terra would be great, he would be able to defeat chaos and then go from there.
