I see several ways:

One: You break the heroic cycle, and just don't return.

Two: After repeated heroquesting, you become an avatar of your god, or reach ultimate `communion'. You become one with.

Three: For those who don't follow their god's path(s), but

	through chance or fate or will start of on a path
	of their own making - these will start new cults.

	On one of their quests, they'd have to face Death
	directly, and defeat it.
