News this outrageous could not have spread without something fishy behind it. Meng Chuan was certain of that.
Some old man must have given it his tacit approval.
But Meng Chuan did not mind.
The rumor did him no harm. If anything, it only helped him.
Having such a rumored identity in this Lifetime was far better than arriving with no background at all.
It could also help Meng Qi.
Besides, Meng Chuan would not stay long. He could dust off his hands and leave whenever he pleased.

The Dao Fruit would be revealed in the Current Era, and the Three Pure Ones were now striving to reduce themselves.
Accepting something from Meng Chuan would mean adding to themselves instead.
A system capable of producing an Immortal Emperor, if laid upon the Three Pure Ones now, would be enough to drag them down for good.
The Karma it created would be more than any successor could bear.
Nothing mattered more than the Dao Fruit.
So Meng Chuan was not worried that the Three Pure Ones would make a move against him.
They were surely curious about him and about the world behind him.
Had he appeared at the dawn of Creation of Heaven, someone might have seized him the moment he arrived.
But things were different now.
The Three Pure Ones had an excellent chance of winning, with Transcendence in sight.
The Dao Fruit was all they sought. They could set everything else aside.
For now, Meng Chuan's presence clearly brought them a hundred benefits and not a single harm.
Meng Qi had now risen to prominence. Outsiders might still have doubts, but
