Beerus does have supporting evidence that him fighting threatens the universe (like when he fights Champa briefly), but for Goku there is no such thing. For the anime there is no clear cut scale for Goku as to where he stands, but if he has indeed surpassed Beerus then he's universal for sure. But this is doubtful.

The God of Destruction Beerus Saga (破壊神ビルス編, Hakaishin Birusu Hen, lit. "Destruction God Beerus Arc"), also known as the Battle of Gods Saga (神と神編, Kami to Kami Hen, lit. "God and God Arc), is the first saga in Dragon Ball Super. It is based around the events depicted in the movie Battle of Gods. The saga begins sometime after the events of Kid Buu...
Post-Battle Aftermath
As the epilogue of the Kid Buu Saga, sometime after the battle with Kid Buu (six months according to one source), Goku is working on the field to make money for Chi-Chi. He takes a break from using the tractor to plow the fields so he can stop and eat. Once he's finished, he turns Super Saiyan and begins to train instead, while his son, Goten, takes care of his work. Goten loses focus while he's observing his father train, and falls off a cliff with the tractor. Goku teleports and saves his son before he can hit the ground. Meanwhile, Beerus has awoken and visits a planet with Whis. Beerus demands they serve him the best food they have, and upon being served, Beerus complains that the food is too greasy. To express his dissatisfaction, he taps his finger on the table, and destroys half of the planet. Around that time, Mr. Satan is being awarded 100 million zeni for "saving" the Earth from Majin Buu. Good Buu walks in and complains he's hungry. Nobody is frightened by Buu, as they had their memories of him erased in one of the Dragon Ball wishes. Buu is visibly upset after Mr. Satan told him he would get him something to eat later, instead of then. After the ceremony, Mr. Satan promises to prepare Buu a feast. Gohan is walking around with Videl, and is very happy that Videl got him a book titled "Muzukashii Hon" that would help him with his studies. Goten wants to get Videl a wedding gift, and asks Trunks to help him. Trunks comes up with an idea, and they head to a jewelry shop to buy her jewelry, but decide against it as the gems are all too tiny. Their next idea is to buy Videl cosmetics, but decide against it as well, because it was too expensive. A man in the store rants about how outrageous the prices are, and how the hot spring near his house can make wrinkly skin smooth. Trunks inquires about this, and is given directions. Goten and Trunks carry a container with them while they search for the hot spring. Upon finding it and gathering it in the jar, they are attacked by a giant serpent. Trunks defeats it, and they head to Gohan's house. They hand over the jar to Videl, who greatly thanks them. Later that evening, Goten tells Goku about his day, when Mr. Satan arrives, saying he found them thanks to Chi-Chi, and wants to thank Goku for saving the world. To reward Goku, he decides to give him and his family the 100 million zeni peace reward that he was falsely given. Goku is hesitant at first, but Goten tells his father that Chi-Chi will let him go train with King Kai if he accepts the money. Goku reluctantly accepts it and returns home to show Chi-Chi; she allows Goku to train without a second thought. Master Roshi overhears this and wants to use the money to buy some "interesting" DVDs. At the Sacred World of the Kai, Kibito Kai and Old Kai sense that another planet has been destroyed. After being granted permission from Chi-Chi to train with King-Kai, Goku uses instant transmission to arrive at King Kai's place. King Kai is driving around his planet, and barely manages to avoid Goku after he arrives right in front of him, but crashes into his house anyway. King Kai fixes his house while Goku has lunch that King Kai prepared. Goku then begins to train after he gets full. Bulma and Vegeta, with their son Trunks, are traveling with Bulma's airplane to a resort for their family vacation. Vegeta chooses to stand on top, so Bulma trains Vegeta by cranking up the speed and flying through the ocean, and a forest full of thick trees. Once they arrive at the resort, they go shopping. Bulma thanks Vegeta for stopping his training, and choosing to spend time with his family. Vegeta says it's because he wants to keep the promise he made to Trunks. After refusing to help Trunks carry the shopping items, he tells Bulma he's hungry. They order food, and Bulma notices it makes him less moody. The octopus they order shoots ink and smothers Vegeta with it when he pulls on the tentacle, which makes Vegeta extremely angry until Bulma calms him down. They relax on a beach with a sunset sky, and Bulma sees a cruise liner which gives her an idea for her birthday party. At the resort, Vegeta gets lost from Bulma and Trunks, and is stuck with hundreds of other people in a festival. He begins to think he's just wasting his time and wonders how much Goku is training. The people near him keep bumping into him, much to his annoyance. The man on the stage notices him, and tells him to stop being such a party pooper and dance on the stage. Vegeta snaps and blows everyone back. The crowd is utterly shocked, while Bulma and Trunks look up, surprised how long Vegeta lasted, while he flies away to train.
Enter Beerus and Whis
Meanwhile, Beerus is at his planet, and is trying to remember what his dream was. He asks Whis if his lunch is ready, and Whis responds through the hourglass, saying just two more minutes. Whis travels at warp speed to a lively planet populated by an unknown species. There, a gigantic dinosaur is roaming the land, while the species members sneakingly come out and attack it by throwing axes at it. The axes don't affect it, and simply bounce off. The dinosaur unleashes a fiery breath and kills a large number of the population, while the rest that survive run away, scared. The fire catches the trees and starts to burn them down, when the dinosaur is approached by the leader, Chief Moginaian, who easily kills it. The species gleefully cheer as they take home their food, when Chief Moginaian is approached by Whis, who asks that they hand over the dinosaur. Whis realizes that Chief Moginaian can't understand his language, so he talks to him through a universal alien language. Chief Moginaian refuses to give up the dinosaur meat, and transforms. Beerus arrives and asks what is taking so long. Whis explains that dinosaur meat is a luxurious food, and not easy to come by. Beerus responds by saying that the dinosaur meat will help him remember the premonition he dreamed about, to which Whis says that most of his premonitions never hold true. Chief Moginaian attacks Beerus, throwing a barrage of punches at him, all blocked by Beerus with one finger. Beerus easily disposes of him, and changes his mind about wanting to eat the dinosaur meat. He blows the planet up, which the Old Kai senses and tells Kibito Kai that the God of Destruction Beerus has awoken. As the planet explodes, Beerus imagines the premonition he dreamed in the blinding light coming from it. He then remembers the name as Super Saiyan God. As Beerus and Whis are traveling, Whis asks Beerus to describe the Super Saiyan God in more detail. Beerus then asks Whis why he can't fly any faster, to which he stops and explains that he's the fastest in the universe, before continuing again. After abandoning his family on their vacation, Vegeta decides to train in a gravity chamber at 150x Earth's gravity. Like his usual gravity training, he has to dodge the lasers being shot at him. Upon being hit, the gravity shuts off, and Vegeta is left there extremely worn out. He declares that he may have admitted Kakarot to be the strongest Saiyan, but will soon surpass not only him, but everyone in the universe. At the Sacred World of the Kai, Old Kai explains to Kibito Kai that they are the Gods of Creation, and Beerus is the opposite of that; he is one of the Gods of Destruction. He warns Kibito Kai that they must not let anybody challenge Lord Beerus to a fight, specifically Goku. King Kai calls them via telepathy and tells them that Goku is with him, and he'll make sure Goku doesn't hear of it. Goku overhears King Kai saying his name and questions him about it. King Kai tries to switch the conversation by reminding Goku about the sacrifice he, Bubbles, and Gregory made for him when they were killed by Cell in the explosion. Beerus and Whis are relaxing at Beerus' temple and eating desert when Whis asks Beerus if he was sure that he remembered the name correctly. Beerus suggests that they call upon the Oracle Fish to remember the name, with Whis questioning how reliable the Oracle Fish is. After a moment of being summoned with no answer, the Oracle Fish launches throughout the room and bounces off the walls, knocking Beerus' desert out of his cup. Beerus reminds her of what she said 39 years ago, that he would face his ultimate adversary, to which the Oracle Fish said he would face him today. After being asked if she remembered the name, the Oracle Fish thought about it and claimed to them she did not remember. Beerus then threatened to take away one of her daily feedings. After being threatened, the Oracle Fish finally remembered the name as what Beerus originally thought it was. Whis tells Beerus that the Super Saiyan God doesn't exist, which Beerus responds by saying the Saiyans might know something about it. He then remembers that Planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza. Whis explains to Beerus that not all Saiyans were killed by Frieza, and that a few escaped, most notably Vegeta. As Beerus relaxes in a hot spring, he asks Whis about the surviving Saiyans' whereabouts. Whis responds by saying all remaining Saiyans reside on planet Earth, and that the Saiyan named Goku defeated Frieza. Beerus is dismayed at the fact that someone defeated somebody as powerful as Frieza. Whis says that Goku was only a Super Saiyan when he defeated Frieza, and is currently residing on King Kai's planet. Beerus wants to find out more about the Super Saiyan God, and asks Whis to take him to King Kai's planet, who is told that it will take 26 minutes and 44 seconds to get there, to his surprise.
Bulma's Birthday Party
Krillin is driving his wife, Android 18, and their child, Marron, to the bingo tournament at Bulma's birthday party. Android 18 is angry over the traffic being so bad, while Krillin responds by saying she shouldn't have taken so long with her makeup. She retorts by saying she has to look good for a party. They instead decide to fly there to get there quicker. On the Princess Bulma, Bulma's cruise ship, Goten and Trunks are exploring around the ship, and Master Roshi and Oolong are taking turns looking through a telescope at women on the beach. Bulma sees Buu eating before anybody else can eat, and gets mad with Buu, but Mr. Satan tells her he'll handle it. Gohan tells Bulma that Goku and Vegeta aren't coming, as they are busy training, to Bulma's irritation. On King Kai's planet, Goku continues to train, but drops the weights in shock. King Kai thinks that Goku realizes Beerus is coming, but is relieved to hear that Goku forgot about Bulma's birthday party instead. Whis packs Beerus' lunch, and they set off to King Kai's planet. Kibito Kai and Old Kai are amazed at how fast they're traveling, and Beerus' strength. King Kai is terrified of the arrival of Beerus, unaware that Goku is right next to him. Goku has no clue what King Kai is worried about, and thinks he's acting weird. To make Goku forget about what he was talking about, King Kai does some silly dances to get Goku's mind off of what he was saying earlier. As everybody is enjoying themselves on Bulma's cruise, Trunks shows Goten around the ship. Goten is surprised to see the door open to a room filled with the bingo prizes, such as a luxurious car, airplane, and a huge diamond. Trunks presses a switch, and a trapdoor unlocks, which a giant stand containing the Dragon Balls rises from the ground. It is heavily guarded, with multiple layers of protection and a pinkish electric barrier surrounding it. Touching it even slightly causes the person who touched it to fly back, even powerful Saiyans like Goten. Trunks acknowledges how amazing his mom's inventions are, but pulls the plug, saying that there's always a way around them. After Trunks pulls the plug, the barrier around it disappears. He then enters a combination of buttons on the button pad, after which the hatch opens, revealing all seven Dragon Balls. Meanwhile, Emperor Pilaf and his minions, Mai and Shu, are on a deserted island looking for a supposed treasure that Emperor Pilaf said was there. While Mai and Shu are digging, Emperor Pilaf is fishing for food. Emperor Pilaf's Dragon Radar starts beeping, signaling the Dragon Balls are nearby. It turns out to be on the Princess Bulma, the cruise ship close to them, to his excitement. Because their motor boat isn't working, they have to paddle their selves to the ship instead. Goten and Trunks help them up the ship by throwing down a ladder. As the chefs pass by them carrying dishes of food, the Pilaf Gang is starving. Goten and Trunks do them another favor by bringing them food, which they gladly chow down on. Vegeta, still training, is interrupted by a Capsule Corporation assistant who brings the phone to the gravity chamber. Vegeta listens to his wife yell through the speaker, demanding him to come to her birthday party on her cruise liner. On King Kai's planet, Goku trains by blasting a Kamehameha which makes a complete circle around the planet, with Goku catching his own Kamehameha and controlling it. King Kai gets angry with Goku for not warning him. King Kai mumbles to himself how that's another reason he doesn't want Goku to meet Beerus. Goku hears this and asks King Kai who he is. Seeing as how he has no other choice at this point, King Kai finally explains who Beerus is. He explains that he is a God of Destruction, and as such, his job is to destroy planets. Upon explaining everything to Goku, he tells him to hide. Beerus arrives with Whis and greets the North Kai, who is terrified at his presence. King Kai tries to stay calm, who is warned by Beerus that he'll shrink his planet even more if not satisfied by the food. When asked how long it was been since they last saw each other, King Kai answers that it has been 327 years. Goku is discovered by Beerus hiding and is told to come out. After Goku informally introduces himself, much to King Kai's dismay, he is asked if he was aware of a Super Saiyan God. Clueless to what Beerus was talking about, Beerus then decides to travel to Earth to ask the other Saiyans if they know of something. Before they left, Goku asks Beerus to a fight to test his power. Goku transforms into a regular Super Saiyan, and charges after Beerus, missing every punch in the process. He then ups his power, transforming into a Super Saiyan 2, but still misses every punch. At last, he is forced to ascend into his most powerful form, Super Saiyan 3, but still misses every punch, and unleashes a Kamehameha that tears through the other side of King Kai's planet. He continues to throw punch after punch, to no avail. After that, Goku is frozen as Beerus hovers over to him and flicks his forehead, sending him flying, then Beerus appears behind him, and grabs his shoulder, reverting him to his base form and knocking him unconscious. Beerus and Whis say their goodbyes to King Kai and leave. King Kai tends to Goku, who wakes up after momentarily being unconscious after the devastating blow from Beerus. Goku is shown to be in major pain, and is told by King Kai about him being lucky to have survived the fight against Lord Beerus. After Vegeta finally decides to show up at Bulma's birthday party, he is contacted by King Kai via telepathy, and is told to make sure nobody angers the God of Destruction, or Earth and its inhabitants will perish. Goku says he needs to get up and save Earth, but is told to rest. After he is fully healed, Goku decides to sit around for a while and wait it out. Before Beerus and Whis arrive on Earth, Vegeta is pondering how somebody as strong as Kakarot could be defeated in just two blows. When they arrive, Beerus slightly touches Vegeta with the nail of his finger, and Vegeta nervously stumbles away from him. Vegeta tries to attack him, but Beerus' glare causes his body to paralyze and make him fall down. Vegeta looks up at Beerus and has a flashback from when he was a child. In his flashback, Beerus is shown resting his foot on King Vegeta's head and pushing down on it, angry that he didn't get the most comfortable pillow on the planet, and that King Vegeta used it for himself. Vegeta as a child stands back and watches as his father get smashed into the ground face first for not showing any respect. Vegeta runs toward his father, trying to help him, but gets forced to the ground by the same glare. After snapping out of it, he is asked about the Super Saiyan God, and tells that he does not know what it is. Bulma sees Vegeta on the ground with Whis and Beerus, and asks who they are, and is told by Beerus and Whis that Vegeta is their friend. Bulma walks over and greets them, and welcomes them to join them in the party. Vegeta has to make sure nobody angers Beerus, or the Earth will be destroyed. As Beerus and Whis are on the cruise ship, people introduce them selves to Beerus, like Yamcha, who tells Beerus that he's the strongest out of everybody and slaps him hard on the back. This worries Vegeta, who thinks that even the slightest mistake can cost the Earth. Next, Krillin serves Beerus Russian Takoyaki Balls filled with wasabi instead of octopus in it. This also distresses Vegeta, who lashes out at Krillin for doing idiotic things that might anger Beerus. To make up for the incident from earlier, Vegeta serves Beerus a fresh batch of Octopus Balls. As Beerus is about to eat one, Goten and Trunks come from around the corner and accidentally spray Beerus with water during their water gun match. They apologize and run off, but Beerus becomes infuriated anyway, and rises above the ship as if he were about to charge his ki to destroy Earth. Vegeta panics and dives into the sea to grab an octopus, who blasts it into several pieces, and cooks and prepares it for Beerus. Beerus calms down and states to Whis that he can't be angry in that kind of atmosphere. Whis asks Beerus if he has tried pudding before, who tells him that it was delicious, and points to where it is. Beerus goes over to Buu and asks if he could share some pudding with him, who bitterly declines to share any. Beerus gets frustrated with Buu, with Mr. Satan attempting to console Beerus for his friend's selfish actions. Buu and Beerus both tell him to get out of the way, and they confront each other, face to face. Buu starts jabbing Beerus, without him even flinching or moving. Beerus grabs his final punch and clenches it, twisting and contorting Buu, and sending him off flying into the sky, before appearing behind him and grabbing his antenna. Beerus twists Buu around again, before firing a beam directly at him, and sending him into the sea. Vegeta also tries to comfort Beerus and offers to make him more pudding, but is told to leave. As Whis is eating food served by the chef, he is completely oblivious to the events happening until Beerus calls out to Whis asking if they can blow up the Earth and leave, to which Whis asks for more time, as he is too busy enjoying the delicacies prepared by the chef. Goten and Trunks perform the Fusion Dance in an effort to stop Beerus from annihilating Earth. Beerus calls Gotenks a child, but Gotenks retaliates by berating him for being such a child for making a big deal over not getting any pudding. Beerus then goes on a rant about how they probably eat it all the time, while's he had never tried it before. Beerus slaps Gotenks on the arm multiple times, causing a huge red bump to form on his right arm. Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Android 18 all attempt to stop Beerus after he declares he will destroy Earth. They all fail, and Gohan realizes how great the enemy they were fighting is. Majin Buu then comes from behind, but is sensed by Beerus before he can land a hit, and is once again defeated by Beerus. Dende, shriveling in fear, tells Piccolo that the reason he is so frightened, is because he senses Godly ki coming from Beerus. Gohan powers up and charges at Beerus, but is knocked back down after Beerus uses Majin Buu as a weapon of sorts. Vegeta realizes he should be trying to help out, that he is the Prince of all Saiyans, and turns Super Saiyan. Vegeta bursts towards Beerus but is disposed of just as easily as everyone else. Beerus places his foot on Vegeta's head, whose skull is crushed like his father's was. As Beerus is about to kill Vegeta, Bulma walks over and slaps Beerus, upset at how he ruined her party. Beerus turns around and slaps her back, knocking her away from the brute force. After he witnesses this, Vegeta crouches down and clutches his head in mental pain after seeing his wife get slapped and hurt. Vegeta becomes enraged, and during the transformation he temporarily loses his irises, similar to Future Trunks' Super Saiyan Third Grade form. He transforms into a Super Saiyan 2, signified by electricity sparks and even longer and spikier hair. During Vegeta's fight with Beerus, he manages to land a few punches on Beerus and release a Galick Gun at Beerus, which Beerus struggles to defend himself against, but eventually overwhelms Vegeta. Beerus offers one last chance to the inhabitants of Earth, asking Oolong, whom he calls the pink pig, to have a rock-paper-scissors with him. Oolong loses, and Puar is fuming angry with him for showing scissors every turn. After winning the contest, Beerus announces that he is leaving with Whis, who was finally ready to leave, and destroying Earth. As he charges a purplish variant of the energy sphere, Goku uses his Instant Transmission technique and arrives just in time. He explains to everyone about Beerus being the God of Destruction which makes him the strongest in the universe to their shock. Goku then asks for more time to find the Super Saiyan God. His plea is granted, and they gather the Dragon Balls to summon Shenron. Shenron seems afraid of Beerus, but nevertheless explains that they need to perform a ritual that requires five righteous Saiyans pouring their hearts into the sixth Saiyan, who then becomes a Super Saiyan God. After everything is explained, Shenron disappears and the Dragon Balls disperse throughout the planet.

The saga appears in Dragon Ball Heroes, where it received multiple adaptations. The first was the Beerus Saga added in Galaxy Mission 7 that loosely covered the events, which was followed by the Super Beerus Saga in God Mission 3. The God of Destruction Beerus Saga was added in SDBH Mission 1, which provided a briefer recap of the saga.
An alternate timeline version of events from this story appeared in the Xenoverse series. The version of the saga that appears in Xenoverse 2 is called the God of Destruction's Anger Saga.
In Kakarot as part of the A NEW POWER AWAKENS Part 1 DLC, a new DLC story is added which borrows elements from the God of Destruction Beerus Saga, though it is not a straight forward adaptation of said saga, as it features Whis summoning Goku and Vegeta to Beerus' Planet as the main timeline of Kakarot is different due to the Z Fighters post Majin Buu conflict confrontation with the King of Demon Realm Mira after Towa manages to gather enough energy to restore his body that had been destroyed by the Future Warrior in Xenoverse (as Kakarot occurs in a version of the main timeline created as a result of Towa gathering Kili to restore Mira in between the events of Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2). Whis aware of the changes due to his station and understanding of temporal matters tasks the two Saiyans with getting strong enough to take on Beerus himself and features a game exclusive storyline that involves Goku and/or Vegeta training on Beerus' Planet achieving their Super Saiyan God forms.
If Goku fought Beerus in his base form, he likely wouldn't be able to put up any semblance of a fight, but if he used God or Blue against him, he'd suddenly start to be able to put up a fight, because now it's God Ki vs God Ki.
Belmod and Jiren have been far surpassed by current Goku and Beerus is still on top. Toyotaro even did a recent interview where he said Beerus was still somebody for Goku to work toward. Reply reply

Jan 8, 2022 · In Dragon Ball Super, Beerus often comes across as an unbeatable character that the Z-Warriors have no hope of ever defeating. This is certainly the impression that was left by the ending of the Battle of Gods saga, which saw Goku acquire divine power but still fall short of beating Beerus.
