My mistake. I thought the Emperor's psychic energy powered as-con, and he needed to be "alive" to maintain it.

For clarity, what actual purposes does the Emperor serve beyond an object of worship/rotting symbol?

Going off of my limited understanding, if the Emperor completely dies, the Golden Throne fails completely, and nothing changes, the truth would be smothered, and its spreaders would be silenced/discredited. How accurate is this?
