Guthix and Saradomin -Paradox?
Quick find code: 341-342-882-66067912
Guthix brought humans to Gielinor via the World Gate but Saradomin achieved godhood on Teragard (the human homeworld) long before that. Because of his godhood, he -- unlike most other humans -- was able to travel through the multiverse and basically do whatever he wanted unless he ran into a god that was more powerful than he was, which was rare.
Saradomin came to Naragun before Guthix was a god, yes. Gielinor would have, at this point, just been an empty world of perfect beauty. Guthix was, presumably, the first young god to reach Gielinor and he was astounded by the beauty of the world and its massive amount of anima; the Elder Gods created Gielinor this way so that when they "hatched" in the next Great Revision, they could harvest Gielinor in the way they harvested Freneskae, leaving it just a smouldering husk of what it once was. Guthix, however, wanted Gielinor to simply become a beautiful, serene world where mortals of all species tended the land and lived free of the influence of the gods, which is why he brought humans to the planet. Saradomin later found Gielinor (along with many other gods) and tried to establish his dominion over the world.
So, while it may seem paradoxical, Saradomin had achieved godhood long before Guthix even found Gielinor, before Guthix killed Skargaroth and achieved godhood, before Guthix even knew that the Blue Giant god named Saradomin actually existed. Actually, Saradomin probably ascended before Guthix was even born. Teragard, like most worlds including Naragun, existed long before Gielinor was populated by any sentient species.
I hope that cleared some things up but let me know if you need me to elaborate on something.

Sure thing, glad I could help! Honestly, just take a few hours and pine through the RS Wiki on articles that interest you, it'll really help. A good starting point is to check out the article about Gielinor, as it should lead you to all corners of the lore while also bringing you fully up-to-speed on the lore of the series.
