The two high gods fought with everything they had. As high gods, they can replenish their divine energy quickly by taking the spiritual energy of the godclads in their pathway. This is one of the advantages of not hoarding all the power of a pathway.
So the two of them can fight for a long time. But as the fight continued, both of them considered withdrawing all of the power of their pathway if they were about to be killed.
Withdrawing all of the power of their domain will make it much more difficult for them to revive after they are killed. But it will ensure that no one is able to take over their position as the god of the pathway when they are still reviving.
A high god can revive by taking over the body of godclads in their pathway. They can take over the body of any godclad from rank 1 to rank 9.
