Sometimes greater ages leads to greater wisdom, sometimes it leads to more intense folly. These two races which we'll now consider are their universe's oldest humanoids and, as such, accessed tremendous powers they use to achieved vastly different goals.
Earth-One's dimension was overseen a race originally called the Malthusians from the planet Malthus, journey to the center of the universe. Therein they found the planet Oa and became the Guardians of the Universe, harnessing emerald energies to empower android Manhunter agents and later the Green Lantern Corps to combat the evil spread by their evil brother, Krona at the beginning of the Multiverse.
And one such dimension in this Multiverse had a race equivalent to the Guardians in the form of the Buddak from their world of that name. Among these being were high lamas who also harnessed vast energies which they horded for themselves in order to achieve perfection. On one occasion in the 20th century, they attempted to remake Earth-Two by realigning the continents to accomplish this goal. As their own universe did not contain a counterpart of Oa (its twin was Qward in the Anti-Matter Universe), the closest equivalent was apparently Earth itself although the center of all other universes was the Rock of Eternity that originated from Earth-S. Thankfully, Doctor Fate and Earth-One's Superman stopped their evil plan, and this malevolent race disappeared thereafter. However, while residents of Malthus and Buddak reflected good and evil as parallel peoples, those of Malhtus that arrived on Oa to become the Guardians had a different class that reflected their ideals, originating on Earth-Two!
