The rewards came once the tally was complete.
Yu Yuan turned his attention to the other notifications.
[Regional Event—Cleanse the World's Blight completed] [Rewards: Aether +1; New World Map +1; resources (mineral deposits, wildlife, ecosystems) in civilization worlds under your command greatly increased; chance of rare resources appearing greatly increased; resource recovery speed greatly increased]

It's an essential resource for advancing to Gold Tier. I can't use it yet, but it's crucial.
