And if the Emperor is the Empire's problem ? Let me explain. In fact, the Empire live the thing all kingdoms live when a king become to old to move, too weak... But during a far longer period. It's a middle age. No new technology, no social innovations, no evolution during countless years ! In fact the imperial model is paralized exactly as the Emperor is in the Golden throne.

I know what the Emperor is supposed to do for the safe of Humanity, guide the starships, fight the Chaos Gods, etc.

What if it's more a propagand than a reality ?

It look like a good way to hold the people in place : Our deified Emperor fight for you in an other plan of existence ! Serve The immortal Emperor who sacrifice himself for your sake ! Perfect propaganda.

But the spatial conquest started before the Emperor. I know the birth of Slaneesh changed the game but maybe the solution found to solve the problem of communication is not the only one but the first really efficient found. After that, no need to invest more energy to find other ways. In fact, Navigation in Immaterium could be possible... Without the Emperor.

Think of it. The Imperium is a conservative force, filled of superstition, terrified by the idea of evolution. This force stand the human kind united and alive... But restrain all evolution, for ever, until the Empire fall.

No Emperor ? The Empire in piece ? Restraints vanish.

Humanity will know losses like never in his story. But humans will have to adapt ! The greatest power of our specie is his skill to adapt and survive ! Without the presence of the Emperor, the humanity will recreate itself.

What about the ennemies ? things will equilibrate sooner or later. A part of the Necron success is due to the fact they are hidden. If they reveal all of them stronghold, all all them plans, things will change. The Tau Empire could be a real chance for humanity to evolve as a partner. They won't be your friends, but they remember us a part of humanity the Human kind lost long time ago. They could help us to rebirth. Some other alliance could be possible. In fact all the main threats against humanity suffer the same problem : Without a strong ennemy, they tend to fight against themself. it's the nature of Chaos. It's the nature of Orks. Dark Eldars consume the most of their power to fight against themself and without other species, they decline... Even the tyranids could be less united than it appear, because of their hability of evolution. Maybe the hives can become strangers and tyranids will fight tyranids. Some experiences proved they can be aggressive against them own specie.

In this new world. Humanity could be rise again...Different and exploring new facet of our genious.
