Black Cat Town suffered heavy losses.
He underestimated the power unleashed by the desperate remnants of Midnight City and overestimated his own power.
They nearly wiped out all his followers, only the believers in a feigned death state survived, and even he almost had his divinity usurped—
He should hate them, and the Ghost Church that helped them.
So it was not surprising when the descended, weakened will of the Black Cat Town divinity showed hostility to the ghost followers remaining in the town and drove them away. This was already relatively mild and tolerant—divinities trapped in chaos are usually as aggressive as fire.
And Lu Li is no longer among them.
This means the Black Cat Town divinity might still have a chance at recovery, possibly even avoiding the decline into senescence due to the loss of followers, although it sounds hard to accept—a patient rid of an entangling illness but also spent his last savings.
