The Golden Throne doesn't contain Emperor's spiritual energy, but rather his mortal body. The Throne is simply failing because it was working for the last 10,000 years (which is very impressive for a device to work for so long). Any deviee will break down if it will work for too long.

The gods are not created by being simply worshiped as gods. The Chaos gods and the Eldar gods are a good example. The were created from human emotions and thoughts of different aspects. The chaos gods were created from all feelings of sentients beings of the galaxy (except Slaanesh who was born from the excess of the Eldars).

But like Slaanesh, The Eldar Gods were also created from emotions of powerful psychic beings. Like the Old Ones( and the eldars eventually). Who were then worshipped by the Eldars.

Despite the great powers that the Emperor possess, he is still a mortal being that resides in the realspace. And like any mortal, he possess a soul, which every living being has. This is the main reason why he won't become a god. He was not created from a warp energy, but giving a shape in the material realm, with great psychic potential.

Being worshipped by some one godesn't gives the gods more power, this is the fact that the Emperor missed during the Great Crusade. He thought that if he will take religion away from the people, then the Chaos gods will be weaker, but that did not happen. People continued to make war (khorne), changes (Tzeentch), pleasure (Slaanech) and destruction (Nurgle), Those were the aspects that strengthened the Chaos Gods and let them turn the Forces of the Emperor upon himself.

The only reason the Emperor is stronger is because he does not have to use much of his powers on the material realm, and instead focuses his energy on the Immaterium. Since he have regained all of his strengthen after the Battle with Horus.

I believe that when he dies, he will merely reborn, just like those shamans that have created him. Since he represents the pure and uncorrupted warp energy that resides in the warp.

What about the worship? Well, when the Emperor will be reborn, so will the faithful souls that flow around him in the warp (I think). It has already been stated that the reincarnation of the saints and other imperial servants is possible. And that is it...

Any questions?
