Not sure if I can agree there... The emperor's death allowed him to focus on holding back the worst powers of chaos, if he was alive his attention would also be diverted by Realspace so there would be much less holding chaos back, assuming the 13th Crusade is said to reach Terra by itself I draw the conclusion the imperium would've fallen by now if the Chaos Gods could unleash even more power than they are currently letting into Realspace, which they could do if empy wasn't holding some of their power back in the Immaterium...
