Kill the Golem and go to the jungle to see 4 cultists. Kill the 4 cultists and the Lunatic Cultist will spawn. After the Lunatic Cultist has been killed, the 4 Celestial Pillars will spawn. The 4 Celestial Pillars are the Solar Pillar, Nebula Pillar, Vortex Pillar, and Stardust Pillar. After all pillars are defeated, the final boss, the Moon Lord will spawn.
