Universe
Qin Yang was currently standing in a dark place, where there was not a single thing to be seen. This place was the universe he had wished for.
His universe was like a dark void, filled with nothingness.
"I am god here aren't I?" Qin Yang muttered and spread out his arms, as if to embrace the void of darkness.
"Let there be light."
...
Qin Yang was currently sitting down on a majestic throne that floated in the end of a grand hallway. White and beautifully carved pillars stood side by side as beautiful creatures which looked like they were carved by god, or in this case Qin Yang, was currently kneeling down to him.
They were based on the mythical creatures which were called angels that served the God of Christianity in ancient legends. Albeit, without the wings. They were beautiful creatures that although don't par with their creator's looks, it was enough to make mortals kneel down to their beauty.
"One, you shall be in charge of the management of the Aeons while I'm gone." Qin Yang was too lazy to name his first made creatures therefore he just named them with numbers. It would be easier after all.
"Yes my lord." One, was the first Aeon to be created by Qin Yang and considered himself to be lucky. He was in charge of creating countless of galaxies in the universe while there were others who had the responsibility to create planets.
Yes, that was Qin Yang's plan, to sit and lay back while his subjects do all the work. That was the point of becoming a god of his own universe wasn't it? While he traveled to countless worlds, he would visit here sometimes and relax. This place was basically his private island where he was the boss.
There was nothing of use with this place other than potentially bringing someone with him to another world and for his entertainment.
He had tried to see if he could bring his omnipotent power from here to the other world but it was no use. There was no time difference, special item to bring from here to there, and he couldn't bring any of his creation here to the other world.
He sighed with regret and decided to leave early. "One, I'll be going somewhere now. Make sure to do everything I told you."
Qin Yang soon disappeared, leaving behind his awed subjects.
...
"Hyah!"
On a ship somewhere near the Eastern Sea were two people fighting. A young man and a old man drinking tea.
"Uncle, fight me seriously!" The young man stomped his foot and punched the air with his fist, making fire suddenly appear and head towards the old man.
"Zuko, I told you not to use your strength while firebending. You must feel the chi in your body and let it flow." The old man suddenly waved his hands and directed Zuko's firebending to the barbeque cooking beside him.
"Smells delicious, it will make a good pair with tea." The old man smiled and walked towards it.
"Uncle!" Zuko complained.
Suddenly, someone ran out of the door behind them and headed towards them. "General Iroh, Prince Zuko, we are nearing the Eastern Air Temple and would be arriving shortly in three days."
"Very good, if the Avatar is there, then we will capture him and bring him back to my father so that I may regain my honor." Zuko squinted his eyes and walked back inside the ship.
Iroh looked at his nephew's back and sighed. He then looked at the man and offered, "Lieutenant Jee, care for some roasted chicken and tea?"
"Don't mind if I do." Jee and Iroh soon indulged in food pleasure.
...
Qin Yang was currently underwater once again. There, he was moving his arms and legs like he was fighting against someone.
"Hah!" He suddenly positioned both of his hands to his chest and pushed them in front of him, creating a wavelike underwater current, destroying a large rock in front of him.
[Waterbending has leveled up.]
After that notification, Qin Yang swam upwards and headed to the shore, where someone else was standing.
"What do you want?" Qin Yang was fixing his two colored hair while looking at person in front him.
"I'm here to apologize about earlier, I didn't mean to attack you." Nero bowed his head.
'It seemed like his arm had already started healing. That Guru is really mysterious.' Qin Yang noticed his arm but didn't say anything.
Qin Yang was silent while contemplating what to do with him. Nero was looking at him nervously, worried about what he might do, then Qin Yang smiled.
"If you really are sorry, then teach me how to earthbend." Qin Yang didn't mind his secret getting exposed to some people, after all, it was still a year before the Avatar emerges.
"Earthbend? But you're a waterbender! No matter how hard anyone tries, only the Avatar is able to wield more than one element!" The teen was flabbergasted and thought that Qin Yang was going to waste his time.
Qin Yang smiled and punched towards the land in mid air. Although he couldn't make the earth rise up, he could still use earthbending to it's lowest level.
Boom!
[+1 Earthbending]
A fist mark appeared on the ground, astonishing Nero, but Qin Yang didn't stop there. He made fire by controlling the flow of his chi in his body, and making it suddenly burst.
Whoosh!
[+1 Firebending]
Although Qin Yang was a little surprised, he didn't stop there. He moved his hand and flowed with the air, moving it faster and faster until you could see the air current following his arm's movement and suddenly released all of it in a tree beside him.
Swish!
[+1 Airbending]
And then finally, he released some water from his storage ring and controlled it, making it become a wall of water and then freezing it! After Qin Yang's advancement to level 6, he immediately felt that he could now freeze the water and turn it into ice.
Crack!
[+1 Waterbending]
...
Nero, who watched him 'control' all the elements had his mouth open wide with a shocked look on his face. He suddenly dropped down to his knees and spoke with reverence. "Nero greets the Avatar!"
"Stand up." Qin Yang said as he stretched his arms. He didn't care what the person in front of him did, he didn't expected the Avatar's influence to be this big though.
Nero immediately stood up, once again with nervousness visible in his face. "Now teach me how earthbenders train." Qin Yang went into fighting position and stared at the latter.
Nero gulped with anxiousness but soon turned serious and taught Qin Yang."

[Earthbending has leveled up.]
Qin Yang was currently standing in two pillars, one leg for each pillar. In both of his hands were two heavy boulders.
"Most earthbenders say this, but the key to earthbending is stance. You need to be steady and strong since if you want to control the earth, you've got to be as stubborn as it is." The usually nervous Nero was now serious. He was giving rigorous training to Qin Yang, but his body was able to keep up.
However, unknown to Nero, Qin Yang was currently breathing calmly. It can be assumed that proper breath control is also key when learning earthbending, beginner level of earthbending training is focused on basic earthbending moves and breathing exercises.
Continuous notifications was sounding in his ears. In just 3 hours of training, he was already level 5 in earthbending. That was because he was training in three different ways. Balance, breathing exercises and he was meditating in training, trying to listen to the earth.
Nero was clearly amazed by Qin Yang's form. He hadn't moved a single inch since he started 3 hours ago, and it doesn't look like he's moving soon. Unbeknownst to him, Qin Yang was learning more than he was teaching him.
If he did know, then he might be even more shocked.
...
Two more hours later passed and the sun was beginning to set. Qin Yang had leveled up into level 6 and his earthbending was progressing more than his waterbending.
Qin Yang dropped the two boulders in front of him, and suddenly threw his arms in front of him, hitting the boulders in front and sent it flying.
Boom!
He somersaulted and dropped on the ground. His action had already amazed Nero at his progress. If he knew that Qin Yang could do more than that, then he'd drop his jaw in astonishment and shock.
