@Neithan. My 2nd theory states that it would be possible for the new being to be corrupted, thats why it could save or destroy the imperium. in fact 2 of 3 of the results I stated at the end were negative to the imperium. A new chaos god or a massive civil war. instead of a new leader that could bring a new golden age.

as to the 3rd theory I stated that the C'tan didn't evolve similar to the other life forms. They were beings of pure energy "created before the first planets actually cooled"(qoute from the wiki, can't be sure it canonical). The qoute I first stated in my thoery says that they are part of the fabric of reality similar to the chaos gods are to the immaterium. So in other words if the chaos gods were made from the same energies that made the warp (sentinent emotions) then the C'tan were made up of what made reality (energy of the big bang)
