After thinking for a long time, Goku finally shook his head.
"No, thank you, Mr. Whis."
He disliked feeling constrained, so it seemed his plan had failed.
Wait, in the original story, Goku and Vegeta didn't seem to be God of Destruction Candidate, right?
Just as Goku was pondering, Whis's words reached his ears.
"Since you're unwilling to become God of Destruction Candidate, then I can't teach you. But since I ate your food, I have to pay a price. And that price is teaching you!"
Whis smiled and looked at Goku, whose joy upon hearing this was impossible to hide.
All his preparations had paid off, and he had successfully convinced Whis to teach him.
"Thank you, Mr. Whis!"
"Hehe, Goku, just call me Whis from now on. There's no need for 'Mr.' between us."
Whis covered his mouth with his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, Whis!"
How could Goku not be happy? In the original work, Whis's power can be described as omnipotent: he can reverse time and space, travel through time and space, create all things, and resurrect the dead.
No one has ever truly forced Whis to unleash his full power, which gives you an idea of just how strong Whis is.
In the entire Zeno's Universe, there's probably only one person stronger Whis, and the strength of the various angels in the Twelve Universes should actually be roughly the same.
Even if there is a gap, it shouldn't be too big. Whis has never admitted that angels from other universes are stronger than him; he has only said that his father is stronger than him.
Whis is not only strong, but also very good at teaching others; not to mention Beerus was his student.
In the original story, Goku and Vegeta's strength improved very rapidly after being trained by Whis.
Now that I can train with Whis, my strength will probably increase explosively.
"Alright, Goku, are you coming with me to the God of Destruction's Planet to train now, or will you wait a while?" Whis looked at Bulma beside Goku.
He felt that if Goku went to God of Destruction's Planet, he might not be able to return to Earth for a while.
Upon hearing Whis's words, Goku realized that Whis didn't know he could Instant Transmission, and quickly explained with a smile.
"Haha, Whis, no need, let's just go. I have a skill called Instant Transmission, which makes traveling very convenient."
"Oh, I see. Is it from the Planet Yardrat?" Whis nodded and asked.
In his memory, besides the Instant Transmission from Planet Yardrat, there was only the one from the Supreme Kai's servant.
"Yes! Whis, can I cultivate during the day and return to Earth at night? I can bring you lots of delicious food every day when I come during the day!"
Goku couldn't resist tempting Whis, even though he knew Whis would definitely agree, bringing food was just a piece of cake for him.
Surely I can't expect Whis to lecture me forever just because of one meal?
Whis's eyes lit up upon hearing Goku's words.
"Really? Thank you so much, Goku! Please put your hand on my shoulder and come with me!"
"Um."
Goku walked behind Whis and placed his hand on Whis's shoulder, then turned to look at Bulma.
Bulma, see you tonight!
"Um!"
Bulma tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, smiled and nodded at the two of them. In her sight, Goku and Whis transformed into a rainbow of light and disappeared into the horizon.
" Whis, just how strong are you?"
On the way to God of Destruction's Planet, Goku couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.
He did try using the control panel, but the result was a few question marks.
Whis, who was ahead, was clearly taken aback when he heard Goku ask him this question. He didn't expect Goku to ask about his strength.
" Goku, do you know the classification of Divine Power?"
Whis was still willing to answer Goku's questions.
"Of course I know. It's divided into five realms, with a 400-fold difference between realms one and two, and a 1000-fold difference between realms three and five."
Goku nodded and said, but his intuition told him that Whis's strength should have already exceeded the fifth level of Divine Power.
"Haha, actually, the Divine Power is far more than the fifth level. For example, as Angel Clan, even the weakest Angel Clan has surpassed the fifth level of Divine Power Divine Power, which is the sixth level."
"It's said that the Divine Power only has five levels because very few people can reach above the fifth level, even the God of Destruction."
Goku listened carefully to Whis's words. If that's the case, Whis's strength must have surpassed the fifth level of Divine Power.
"Those who reach the Divine Power Sixth Realm attain another realm, a realm reached only by my father, the Grand Priest, and the Lord Zeno across the twelve universes."
Whis didn't elaborate too much on realms beyond the Divine Power Sixth Realm because that was too far removed from Goku's reach.
In fact, it's not just the Grand Priest and the Zeno who have transcended the sixth realm; there's also the Dragon God Zalama.
However, Whis was referring to the 12 universes, and he wasn't wrong; the Dragon God Zalama does not belong to the 12 universes.
"A person's strength cannot be judged solely by Divine Power; there's also the mastery of special powers, such as the Power of Time and the Power of Miracles. If I'm not mistaken, you should have a basic grasp of the Power of Time, right?"
Whis could sense the Power of Time within Goku because he also possessed it, and to a much greater degree than Goku.
"Yes." Goku nodded.
Whis continued speaking after hearing Goku's answer.
"Of course, if the difference in strength reaches a certain level, these special powers become useless."
Whis stopped there; he had said enough, enough for Goku to process for a while.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at God of Destruction's Planet.
Rather than a planet, it's more like a large inverted triangular continent, with a colossal tree on it that blocks out the sky.
Goku stared in awe at the endless trees before him.
As expected of God of Destruction's Planet, these trees are huge!
Goku, who was still admiring the towering tree, was brought back to his senses by Whis's call.
" Goku, let's begin today's training."
"Ah? Hmm, okay, Master Whis!"
At first, Goku didn't quite understand; wasn't the original story supposed to have him and Vegeta do chores first?
Whis didn't say much when he heard Goku call him "master," seemingly acquiescing to it.
" Goku, you've already reached the Grand Kai, haven't you? And you've traveled a very long way within the Grand Kai."
Whis succinctly revealed Goku's current Dimensional Level.
"Yes, that's right!"
Goku nodded. Even though he had now mastered the Super Saiyan God form, it might still take him another 10 years or so to break through to the Divine Dimension.
"Your talent is truly remarkable. You're not even 30 years old yet, and you've already reached the level of Grand Kai. Even Lord Beerus is far inferior to you."
Whis didn't hesitate to insult Beerus, since Lord Beerus was unaware of it.
He certainly didn't use himself as an example, because he was born into the Divine Dimension.
"Ha ha!"
Goku scratched the back of his crab-like head.
"Attack me first, let me see your current fighting skills."
Whis put his fingers together, placed one hand upright in front of him, and the other hand horizontally behind him, assuming the starting stance.
"Good!"
Goku nodded, unleashing his full aura. White flames shot into the sky, accompanied by a howling wind, as he attacked Whis.
