So it is a hard fact, that the Emperor of course, very obviously did not recieve his powers from the Chaos Gods, but Horus was decieved into thinking this, most likely so that he would then also believe that his power rivalled that of his fathers, when in fact, it did not. As I have said what can be believed is that by encountering the Chaos Gods, the Emperor could have gained knowledge of the warp that they possessed in order to create the Primarchs.
