The battle sage monkeys have just finished the third challenge, while the other side has finished for quite some time. It is because the other side was able to finish the second challenge quickly. The challenge for the last man standing didn't cause too much of a divide among them.
The normal competitors killed each other in a free for all, and the last one sacrificed themselves to their paragon. So the paragons became the last man standing without any effort. They were lazy about it, but they were also efficient.
Their society is United that way. They are a society with a strict and clearly defined hierarchy. Paragons always come first, and they always get the best. In turn, the paragons always protect the members of their society. It is the basic foundation of their society.
