Before anyone could react, a guttural roar thundered above them. Yu Hao had completely missed it earlier when he arrived, but now when he looked up, he saw a dark, colossal mechanical monster above the nexus of the black hole. The monster seemed like a mechanical spider with its countless outstretched metal arms. Various sharp and blunt weapons jutted from the end of its metal arms: knives, saws, guns, hammers and other such sharp and blunt weapons. It moved towards them with lightning speed!

"Oh my god, what is that?!" Yu Hao immediately cried out upon seeing the mechanical monster.

Zhou Sheng shouted, "The monster that knocked us into the ruins!"

Yu Hao hovered before Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai, protecting them with his barrier. He shouted, "Do we fight it?"

Zhou Sheng opened up a huge shield, and all of the mechanical monster's weapons simultaneously collided with it. A loud "clang" sounded, almost deafening Yu Hao's ears. From behind the shield, Chen Yekai suddenly fired a shot, and the light pillar that shot out broke one of the metal arms. The metal arm that wielded a sharp knife was immediately sucked into the depths of the subconscious.

Even more metal arms began pursuing them. Zhou Sheng grasped his shield and transformed it into the jingubang. A few clangs rang out as the jingubang clashed with the metal arms all around them. He shouted, "Get out of here!"

"But where do we go?"

Chen Yekai shouted, "Follow intuition! Intuition!"

"But I have no intuition......" Yu Hao flew through the sky, and his barrier was just like a spaceship. Zhou Sheng and Chen Yekai stayed beside him, guarding him while attacking the monster with innumerable metal arms that encompassed the heavens and the earth. Its metal arms would constantly break and fall off, yet rather than decreasing in number, its numerous weapons only seemed to multiply.

"Intuition!" Zhou Sheng urged, "Where are you flying to? The six channels are analogous with the six senses, go after the intuition channel!"

Yu Hao instantly understood: the six spiral arms around the black hole represent Liang Jinmin's six senses - hearing, sight, touch, taste, smell, and intuition! In addition, her dream world that currently relied on those six channels was being sucked unremittingly into the Forgotten Ruins!

"Does it lead to the upper conscious world?" Yu Hao shouted.

"There's no upper world!" Zhou Sheng replied, "Her dreamscape has already been shattered. Head to the end of Intuition, I'll explain later!"

"But how do I get to Intuition?" Yu Hao searched the fragment-filled galaxy. Chen Yekai accurately shot at the sharp claw that headed towards them and shouted, "A path constituted of similar fragments!"

Yu Hao immediately understood and found a peculiar path amongst the six spiral arms. On that path, all the memory fragments that were being sucked in were spherical and identical in size and shape. Yu Hao doubled back, quickly dove down and began flying against the flow of the Intuition current.

A miracle occurred as they flew along the Intuition Milky Way: the teardrop-like spheres along the path were continuously drawn towards the lamp in Yu Hao's hand as if attracted to it!

The memories in Intuition were entering the flame, and the lamp's light grew brighter and brighter.

Chen Yekai said, "It worked!"

"I guessed right!" Zhou Sheng shouted, and in the next moment, a giant hammer swung violently towards all of them. Zhou Sheng let out an angry roar, and the golden flame that enveloped his body was unleashed with a blast. His shield had assumed a golden color, and a faint sun wheel motif appeared on the surface of his shield - it blocked that hammer!
