Leto's death causes the Scattering, a great forced exodus of the former Imperium citizens to other galaxies and planets. The Ixians have also begun the construction of navigation computers that will render the Spacing Guild's Navigators obsolete. After revealing the location of his secret spice hoard, Leto dies, leaving Duncan and Siona to face the task of managing the empire.

He explains that humanity is now free from the domination of oracles, free to scatter throughout the universe, never again to face complete domination or complete destruction. Having begun millennia before with the union of Leto's twin sister Ghanima and Farad'n of House Corrino, Siona is the finished result, and she and her descendants will retain this ability. With his dying breaths, Leto reveals a secret portion of the Golden Path: the production of a human who is invisible to prescient vision. Leto's body rends apart in the water the sandtrout which are part of his body encyst the water and scurry off, while the worm portion burns and disintegrates on the shore. The bridge collapses and Leto's entourage, including Hwi, plunge to their deaths into the river below.

As Leto's wedding procession moves across a high bridge over a river, Siona's associate Nayla destroys the support beams with a lasgun. Siona and Idaho overcome a searing mutual hatred of each other to plan an assassination. Leto changes the venue of his wedding from Tabur Village to Tuono Village. When Idaho falls in love and copulates with Hwi, Moneo sends him and Siona out to Tuono Village, an outcropping along the Royal Procession road, to keep them safe from Leto's wrath. She remains dedicated to Leto's destruction, and an errant rainstorm demonstrates for her his mortal vulnerability to water. Awakened to Leto's prophecy, which he calls the Golden Path, Siona is convinced of the importance of it. After improperly using her stillsuit to preserve moisture, dehydration forces her to accept Leto's offer of spice essence from his body to replenish her. Leto tests Siona by taking her out to the middle of the desert. The Ixians send a new ambassador named Hwi Noree to serve Leto, and though he realizes that she has been specifically designed and trained to ensnare him, he cannot resist falling in love with her. Leto intends to breed Siona with the latest Duncan ghola, but is aware that the ghola, moved by his own morality, may try to assassinate him before this can occur. She steals a set of secret records from his archives, not realizing that he has allowed it. Her descendant Moneo is Leto's majordomo and closest confidante, while Moneo's daughter Siona has become the leader of an Arrakis-based rebellion against Leto. A string of Duncan Idaho gholas have served Leto over the millennia, and Leto has also fostered the bloodline of his twin sister Ghanima. The desert planet Arrakis has been terraformed into a lush forested biosphere, except for a single section of desert retained by Leto for his Citadel. All of this he has done in accordance with a prophecy divined through precognition that will establish an enforced peace preventing humanity from destroying itself through aggressive behavior. He has rendered the human population into a state of trans-galactic stagnation space travel is non-existent to most people in his Empire, which he has deliberately kept to a near- medieval level of technological sophistication. The Fremen have long since lost their identity and military power, and have been replaced as the Imperial army by the Fish Speakers, an all-female army who obey Leto without question.

Leto has disbanded the Landsraad to all but a few Great Houses the remaining powers defer to his authority, although they individually conspire against him in secret. As a result, his rule is one of religious awe and despotic fear. Leto has been physically transformed into a worm, retaining only his human face and arms, and though he is now seemingly immortal and invulnerable to harm, he is prone to instinct-driven bouts of violence when provoked to anger. The death of all other sandworms as a result of the terraforming of Dune, and his control of the remaining supply of the all-important drug melange, has allowed him to keep civilization under his complete command.

Leto II Atreides, the God Emperor, has ruled the universe as a tyrant for 3,500 years after becoming a hybrid of human and giant sandworm in Children of Dune.
