There is no universal moral standard, there is not even a global moral standard.
What's the difference between them?

How do you know that they don't exist?

Depends on how you define morals. We can find common behaviors in many species of social animals, which suggests common motivations and responses. Only homo sapiens is stupid enough to waste time worrying about it.

In this video, we recount an incident that occurred at OpenAI while researchers were trying to finetune GPT-2 to be as helpful and ethical as possible. It's narrated that inadvertently flipping a single minus sign led GPT-2 to become the embodiment of a well-known cardinal sin.
No misalignment to goal in the cases of the Crusades, Inquisition, Nazis, Pol Pot, Donald Trump, Liz Truss.....All set their goals and pursued them with considerable accuracy and efficiency. And with significant public approval too, so there was nothing bizarre about the goals. Just wrong, by any civilised standard. So no evidence of a universal moral standard there.
Their terminal goals were misaligned from the universal terminal goal, or at least the goals of larger society.
Is there a terminal goal for thread or is it never ending?
Yes, it is to give people awareness of the universal moral standard based on the universal terminal goal,
