The above page on the site offers some more information on obtaining godhood. It seems to be a specific moment, although the wording ,to me, implies that it is possible to kill a god and accept the energy later on.

For those of you who are lazybones, I believe he was largely referring to this:

To ascend to godhood, an individual needs to reach a certain threshold of power. The most common methods of doing so are by being exposed to Elder God artefacts, or by killing a god and accepting a transferal of energy from that god. Often these happen at the same time.

'Moving up a tier' is a common occurrence, and many gods will attempt to do so. While the gods above are separated into tiers, it is worth thinking of god-power as a sliding scale, with Bandos being close to tier 3 perhaps, or Zamorak close to tier 4.

'Moving down a tier' is also possible. This happens when a proportion of the god's energy is lost to another. This has happened most recently with Zamorak after the Battle of Lumbridge.
