Rui's words were rooted in truth.
None of the leaders of human civilization were eager to re-engage in a conquest of territory within the continent. Part of it was, of course, that they couldn't afford to divert resources away from war-building to the looming all-out world war.
But another part of it was that the leaders of human civilization were truly terrified of the consequences.
Even though the Beast Incursion could not happen without the Authority of Alpha, there was a popular sentiment among not just the people, but also the leaders of human civilization that the Beast Incursion was karma for centuries of destruction of the Beast Domain.
And while there always were expansionists who sought to re-establish human civilization's dominance on the continent once more, the political will to leave the beasts the hell alone was much greater.
