The Effect of Gas Diffusion on Life

Let's say world is completely flat (infinite flat world, think minecraft flatworlds) for the purposes of the question. The gasses of the world started out in a grid pattern, with each square being 10¹³ miles squared, and the atmospheres being as thick as the Earth's. Each gas starts out in its own square but slowly diffuses with the nearby squares.

If life formed at the center of a square consisting of Carbon Dioxide (simulating the early Earth), and another square consisting of Methane, would the diffusion of the two gasses kill the creatures originating from the carbon dioxide square, or would the diffusion be slow enough that the creatures would be able to adapt?
