Yes, it's consciousness, not will.
It might seem like there's no difference, but in reality, the difference is huge.
Will refers to the core owned by this origin, but it doesn't necessarily have consciousness.
To use a simple analogy, will is akin to the soul, signifying that a person is alive, but being alive does not mean being conscious, as vegetative people are also alive.
The Origin Core of the Crystal Wall System that Lin Xiao previously had was akin to one in a vegetative state, possessing a body and soul but very little strength, which is why he could completely control it.
But now, with the infusion of Nightmare's Will into the Origin Core, it's as if the vegetative person has become conscious, gaining an independent awareness and the freedom to do as they please.
This is the difference, but it's not the result Lin Xiao wanted.
After all the effort and great cost to repair this thing, was he to just let someone else benefit from it?
