Possible, but unlikely at this point. Based on when we last saw the Shadow appearing to Jack alongside Billy in "Moriah" as far as we know he may be in opposition to God, so I doubt he would have allowed him to resurrect anyone. But for argument's sake, if God did make a deal with the Shadow to resurrect Lilith, than that is only further problematic because than it needs to be explained what the Shadow got out of it more than once for not only Lilith's resurrection, but Castiel's multiple ones too which I doubt we'll get. Up to S13, the obvious reason God was able to resurrect Cass more than once in the past is due to the fact that both the Shadow and the Empty not hadn't been established yet. But what has lead to the retcon of God having no power over the Empty to now being perceived as a lie by the Shadow is that it was not followed-up with any exposition on how God was able to accomplish Cass' resurrections prior to "The Big Empty" and moreso in this episode when he brought Lilith back from the Empty after the fact and like before, no explanation as to the how. In addition, to say the Shadow lied that God has no power over the Empty due to this "double" retcon in the first place is baseless conjecture and should not be used as an excuse for what is clearly the showrunners breaking with previously established continuity twice in both "The Big Empty" and “Proverbs 17:3”. Let's remember "he lied" was the same conclusion that was made when Death claimed he could reap God which the reasons behind was mostly due to a biasedness against the notion of a fictionalized God could die, let alone that Death may have the power to do reap him. To label the Shadow a liar based on these retcons is flawed logic due in part to Cass now being aware of Lilith's resurrection as "Golden Time", and yet he does not address what Shadow said to him in "The Big Empty" whatsoever (i.e. relaying it Sam and Dean, onscreen or offscreen; questioning how was it possible; or yes, even whether he had been lied to.). My point is concluding a character lied is slippery slope to go down when handling unexplained contradictions to canon otherwise we should take any characters' word for it unless they are caught in a lie "in-universe".
