He died before his time. Who knows where else he could have conquered had he survived?
He could've survived longer indeed, but I don't think it will enable him to conquer much more. Perhaps he will go for Arabia, which if the campaign will end up satisfactory, he will then go for retesting his fortune in India where he will end up failing and finally content with what he has achieved already, or dying.
