If Humans have a purpose in life, what is the purpose of the universe as a whole, outside of humans?

Greek philosophers believed that humans have a reason for being on the earth, outside of ourselves. We could be here to know ourselves and understand ourselves, or we could be here to pursue happiness, or we could be here to achieve wisdom, etc. This question is asking what is the ultimate purpose of the universe as a whole, outside of humans? The answer to this could be a form of eternalism, panpsychism, or another theory.<br><br>This isn't a thread to discuss why the universe is (which is a completely different question) but what the ultimate purpose of the universe as a whole is.
