Gensokyo

Information
Gensokyo is a magical land where many of mystical beings such as fairies, youkais and daemons reside. It is also where a chain of the main events of Generation 3 happens.

History
Gensokyo once was a peaceful and harmonious land of the mystical beings. One day, Sakuya wanted to hold a tournament of the strongest for fun for everyone and linked various dimensions, which made Gridlock uncomfortable and leaded the birth of Gridchouli. The tournament gathered a lot of participants and it was going to go well. However, Gridchouli appeared at some time when the contest was being prepared and committed a mass-murder in Gensokyo making the Hakurei barrier crumble by killing Reimu.

Gridchouli soon found deamons from Abyss coming out of the broken barrier and helped them to invade Gensokyo. As the border crumbled, a lot of its residents started to lose their powers and to stop existing. The daemons merged it to Abyss and turned its remaining residents into horrendous monsters and slaves.

When Broofy and his company ended Abyss once and for all, Gensokyo couldn't be saved and it disappeared. Soon, the strange energy emitted from the destroyed Abyss and the memories of the ruined Gensokyo formed a new Gensokyo that was different from the old one and regained the peace everyone yearned for.

On the other hand, in the true ending route, Broofy and his friends realized the invasion that occurred there when they met Daiyousei in the arcade game. They decided to save Gensokyo as well as their world. After Broofy and co. salvaged the lost souls from Gensokyo, they managed to defeated and expelled Abyssal daemons out of Gensokyo to reestablish it.
