[Spoiler alert]

Your Arisen isn't dead nor did he end the cycle, the cycle is endless. A world without it's guardian falls stagnent and dies, this was explained and becomes even more obivious in NG+

Your Arisen stabbed himself with the Godsbane to become the new Senechal, he doesn't need his physical body anymore and therefore gives it to his mainpawn along with a portion of his soul. Your main pawn in essense becomes the Arisen and lives his life while the real Arisen looks after the world.

The big give away here was when you defeat each words guardian. They pull Godsbane out of their chest. As you can imagine they more than likely stabbed themselves with that sword when they became Seneshal.

So to round it up, your Arisen becomes god, your pawn becomes the mortal version of you. It's basically a God and Jesus type deal.
