can this ring effect save you from turning in to a ooze
Ring of Temporal Salvation
If you die while wearing this gray crystal ring, you vanish and reappear in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the space you left (or the nearest unoccupied space). You have a number of hit points equal to 3d6 + your Constitution modifier. If your hit point maximum is lower than the number of hit points you regain, your hit point maximum rises to a similar amount. If you have any levels of exhaustion, reduce your level of exhaustion by 1. Once the ring is used, it turns to dust and is destroyed
Kyrzin's ooze
This opalescent, symbiotic goo comes sealed in a jar and slowly shifts and moves, as if endlessly exploring the jar's interior. To attune to this item, you must first drink the contents of the jar, unlocking the following properties.
Resistant.
While attuned to Kyrzin's ooze, you have resistance to poison and acid damage, and you're immune to the poisoned condition.
Amorphous.
As an action, you can speak a command word and cause your body to assume the amorphous qualities of an ooze. For the next minute, you (along with any equipment you're wearing or carrying) can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. Once you use this property, it can't be used again until the next dawn.
Acid Breath.
As an action, you can exhale acid in a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Once you use this property, it can't be used again until the next dawn
Symbiotic Nature.
The ooze can't be removed from you while you're attuned to it, and you can't voluntarily end your attunement to it. If you're targeted by a spell that ends a curse, your attunement to the ooze ends, as it seeps out of you.
If you die while the ooze is inside you, it bursts out and engulfs you, turning your corpse into a black pudding allied with the daelkyr.
Huh. Both items use the same wording "If you die... ...something else happens instead."
So those effects would happen simultaneously. Logically, given what the effects are, it does not make sense for both of them to happen - whichever one happens first preempts the second. And I think as DM I'd probably rule that the ring "saves" you before the ooze is able to burst out and engulf you; this is a judgement based entirely on the theme of the two abilities.
Most effects in the game happen in succession, following an order set by the rules or the DM. In rare cases, effects can happen at the same time, especially at the start or end of a creature’s turn. If two or more things happen at the same time on a character or monster’s turn, the person at the game table — whether player or DM — who controls that creature decides the order in which those things happen. For example, if two effects occur at the end of a player character’s turn, the player decides which of the two effects happens first.
So if the death happened on a player's turn, that player would choose the order, and if it happened on a monster's turn, the DM would.

The Ring of Temporal Salvation keeps you from dying, so yes, it saves you from turning into a black pudding.

RAW, I think it would fall under the simulataneous effects rules, described in XGtE: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/xgte/dungeon-masters-tools#SimultaneousEffects .
So if the death happened on a player's turn, that player would choose the order, and if it happened on a monster's turn, the DM would.
The Ring of Temporal Salvation specifies that you don't die anymore, so the Black Pudding would not come to be.
