I believe that the emperor through the will of the shamans simply took a shortcut to the last stage of human evolution. And that his greatest and final plan is for all of humanity to transcend it's petty bickering and basically evolve to his level. That makes the most sense, although him being a chaos god doesn't really work since he actually had parents and didn't just spring into existence because of emotions.
