Light.

Dark.

Creation.

Destruction.

Let's. Get. Real.

So, let's establish this first: Light was first. Light obviously came first. You might wanna contradict saying that before light there was darkness, but before light there wasn't absolutely anything, so, Light came first.

From that Light, came shadow, came Dark. Dark existed to consume the Light. We got that down? Good.

Next, let's establish that the First Spinjitzu Master is not a/the God. Some of you may think that. He's not.

Further more, let's establish that the Overlord is immortal. Done? Good.

Creation is the mortal form of Light, because 1: nobody can wield Light, and 2: Light creates, because it was first. Dark wants to consume the Light, so, Destruction.

Next, we have Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth. These combined make Creation. Destruction doesn't have any elements combined because it simply seeks to destroy the elements themselves, and tries to use those to complete it's purpose. This is why enemies like the Overlord or Chen are constantly obsessed with not power, but ELEMENTAL power. They've gone mad with it, and they don't know what they're doing except for Destruction's purpose. However, when Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth are combined, they allow Creation. Let's hear it from Garmadon himself:

"The Mega Weapon doesn't have the power to destroy! It has the power to create!"

The Mega Weapon was Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth all combined.

Now, Golden Power is four things:

1: The combination of Creation and Destruction.

2: What Lloyd used to use.

3: What the Golden Weapons are.

4: What allows the Ninja to channel their powers, namely Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Earth.

This makes sense, the fact is, Golden Power doesn't attribute to either side. It's either comibined (Golden Weapons - Creation) Or used separately (Golden Weapons - Destruction).

Next up is Energy. Energy is the living flow of the universe. You could say Creation makes the universe, and Energy keeps it going. Energy IS the universe. And so, from Energy, came the First Spinjitzu Master. Not by a bond between Oni and Dragon, but from the universe itself.

(Energy doesn't use other elements, but it keeps them moving. When Kai boasts fire, BOOM, Energy. When Jay shoots Lightning, BOOM, Energy. That's why and how the Ninja (for a while) got their powers from Lloyd.)

Now, Energy is on par with Creation and Destruction, but is below Light and Dark.

Now, I hear you. "How did the First Spinjitzu Master get his powers of Creation?"

The answer: Did he?

Mystaké said that the First Spinjitzu Master understood both sides. Why would he only have/be using Creation then? He didn't. He left the First Realm, went to a random one where there was nothing but the Golden Peaks. From these peaks, he created the Golden Weapons, and used them all together to use Creation.

(On a side note, since the First Spinjitzu Master was pretty much born from the universe itself, he was born with the element of Energy. That's how he was able to harness the Golden Power in the first place. Wu, Garmadon, and Lloyd all have Energy as well. Energy allows them to use Golden Power, which in turn can be used for Creation/Destruction.)

Boom.
