I just realized, you're talking solely about the world existing ("world goes on") and I'm talking about the world existing with meaning, two different things.
Doesn't matter what the world was like (existing with meaning or without) before humans climbed aboard ... as soon as humans entered the scene, the world became a meaningful existence, because all of our behaviour/actions/laws, rules set up prove that.
The fact that we and the universe itself (by way of everyday observances such as night turning to day, change of seasons, weather patterns, the list goes on) follow some sort of order and organization in our daily lives is the very evidence that meaning (intent, significance, as you yourself have defined meaning to be) is implicit in our actions, and the "actions" of the universe.
