In the instant when the power of the Five Elements coalesced, Li Yang understood that space, time, light, darkness, thunder, gravity, magnetism... and so on, everything in the world that seemed unrelated to the Five Elements, were in fact all transformations of the Five Elements.
The Five Elements created the world, so then there was space, time, light, darkness, and so on...
Everything in this world either directly came into being through the transformation of the Five Elements, such as living beings, flames, plants, mountains, the earth, oceans, rivers, and flames.
Or they were created through the combination of the Five Elements, such as Earth Energy and Fire Energy creating lava, or Fire Energy and Metal Energy creating lightning, or Wood Energy and Water Energy creating wind.
