War veterans didn't die, they simply withered away!
War veterans, especially veterans who had fought a hundred battles, risked their neck and shed their blood to protect humankind, and should be remembered no matter what. Their spirits should be passed down to others, and they should not be left unattended all alone until they become old, and had to face death all alone.
It was true that powerful experts were admired, but heroes were venerated.
Compared to those who sacrificed their bottom-level cultivators for their own selfish gains and to protect themselves in order to cultivate themselves to a better realm, but did not make any contributions at all, people like Zhang Hong were the backbone and pillar of the entire humankind.
The flesh would be destroyed, but the spirit would last. The essence of heroes would be passed down from generation to generation. Only then would humankind have a future.
