Difference between 'will' and 'would'
Hello!
In an audiobook I'm listening to, a character makes a grim prediction: "I will die on this world. I cannot tell where this conviction comes from."
When I listened to it the first time, I thought he said: "I would die on this world."
What would the difference in meaning be if my original understanding was correct?

With 'would' there is a previously stated (or implied) condition, such as 'If I could' or ''If my power plant stopped working'.
