The legend could be easily changed though by stumbling upon something that debunks it (and proves that it's the blood of the tree, by your theory).

By the way perhaps if a vampire drinks the First's blood they could gain the exact power because they're no longer human as opposed to when they were Turned. Drinking it as a vampire purifies their blood more like the serum did Adrian's but drinking it as a human just Turns them. So perhaps MC couldn't have even gained Rhey's full power but only what Gaius had when she Turned him.
